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.
