At a chipset level (DEC 21143) yes...in the same way a Znyx card would
work.

It looks like the card also uses a DEC bridge chip too (not unussual on
multi-port Ethernet cards) and FreeBSD will also cope fine with that too.

HOWEVER...be aware that some BIOSes mess up the initialization of such
beasties (PCI bridging and all).

So, in short, it should work...but I've never tried it :-)

Out of interest, how much do DLink knock these puppies out of?
