I recently got a "3M Volition" NIC (at least the Box says so, the pcb says
it's a "MMM 100VF Rev A". It's a 100BaseFX NIC used for 3Ms 'volition' 
FIber Network system.
The card uses an i21143PD NIC, so it should be supported by the de driver.
Unfortionatly, the driver finds the information in the EEprom bogus :

de0: <Digital 21143 Fast Ethernet> (blah blah, typed in)
de0: can't read ENET ROM (why=-4) (d8130121000000000000000000000000
360004010060f5082b39001e00001000)
de0: 21143 [10-100Mb/s] pass 4.1
de0: adress unknown

I tried to force the driver to attach (just commenting out the return -4
in tulip_read_mac_addr). After that, i was able to configure de0, but had
no chance to get any traffic through the interface. setting media to
100BaseTX gave steady 'TX' on the card)
The transceiver used on the nic is a Level One "LXT970A".

Anyone got this card to work?

	Thanks a lot,
		Andre
