The DC21041 is a 10mbps chip, and DEC uses it on the DE450 and in most of the built-in ethernets they have (like on the Multia or the Prioris servers). All of those cards are supported by FreeBSD's de driver (I have them all working). Note that if you want to use the 10/100 card at 10mbps, you'll need to add "-link2" to the ifconfig line for it, as there is a bug with the speed/media detection code of the de driver. Enjoy Nadav
