I don't think these are "real" NE2000's. The 'fe' driver supports cards based on the 86960/86965 chipset; it's possible that you may have some success with this, but the driver is fairly smart about only identifying cards it actually _knows_ it supports, so you might have to prod some of its debugging to get a real answer. > One has jumper blocks clearly labeled, but FreeBSD dosn't recognize > the card at all.
