Got this in -questions in case you're behind Jordan.

Here is the patch to add that line in (I stuck it in the DEC 21xxx PCI
card area):

--- /usr/src/share/doc/handbook/install.sgml	Wed Aug 28 03:30:45 1996
+++ install.sgml	Wed Sep  4 23:16:36 1996

Watch the paths there, I may have done something evil with the explicit
ref to install.sgml. 

I don't have a model number for this one.

Yep.  I asked this question on the list about a week earlier and got a positive
response.  Am now running a PCI EtherPower(2), devices de0 and de1, FreeBSD 2.1.5R,
works great.

Jordan:  how about adding this card explicitly to the list of supported NIC's?
