i don't know how i got it.  i just told my owner to get me some 100mb
ethernet cards that i i could set the irq's manually, and that they were
isa.  so that is what i ended up with.  the last time i tried a PCI card
for bsd .. it was plug and play and i couldn't get it to detect.  thanks
for the info i'm ordering a pci Intel card on monday ..
