Are there any FDDI NICs (preferrably, the DEC stuff) working over
PCI supported in FreeBSD?

The page http://ftp.digital.com/pub/DEC/adapters/html/products/fp.htm
says:

	The DEC FDDIcontroller/PCI family provides FDDI connectivity
	for any PCI-compliant PC, workstation, system, server, or
	peripheral. This new PCI-compliant controller, combined with
	the breadth of operating system drivers from Digital allows the
	DEC FDDIcontroller/PCI to be used on both Digital and non
	Digital platforms.

	Supported Operating Systems 

	Apple Mac OS, Digital OpenVMS, Digital PATHWORKS, Digital UNIX,
	*FreeBSD UNIX* (emphasis mine --S), Linux UNIX, Microsoft
	Windows 95, Microsoft Windows NT, Novell NetWare Client, Novell
	NetWare Server, Novell NetWare SFT III Mirrored Server Link,
	QNX, SCO UNIX/Open Server, SCO UnixWare 2.1.

However, reading the release notes and LINT kernel config file I find
no references to these devices (the EISA fea device is there, but I'm
looking for PCI stuff).  The FTP download area at DEC's server does not
seem to have anything relevant, either.

Anyone with a clue?

Thanks,
