de0 I think you mean? This also supports the 21140. I've just installed
2.2.7 via an el cheapo card with a 21140-AB on 10BaseT (actually an FTP
install at that). The only gotcha for this particular card was the need
to specify the media type explicitly ('media 10BaseT/UTP' is the ifconfig
option I recall using), even though the boot messages seem to indicate it
being initialised to 10BaseT. I seem to recall prior list traffic noting
that many of these cards don't probe/initialise totally automatically.
