> DEC DC21040, DC21041, or DC21140 based NICs (SMC Etherpower 8432T, DE245, etc)

I know of _no_ current production DC21140 card that will work with
the if_de.c driver.  SMC has discontiued the SMC9332DST, and makeing
the SMC9332BDT work requires hacking the driver.  This is also true
of the D-Link DFE-500TX, Kingston KNE100TX, and the Compex board.

Basically all of the vendors are converting to the new PHY interface,
and the driver just doesn't seem to cope with this fact without hacking
it up.

:-( :-(.
