Support for the 3c900 (PCI Etherlink XL) was just added to -current recently. You'd have to upgrade to -current to get this new functionality, at least until the next SNAP comes out. You can get cards pretty cheap through many mail-order outlets such as CDW. I realize shipping may be a bunch there but if you need the support, then you're kinda stuck. Consider consolidating orders with other people to save on shipping costs.
