 Eeeeeeeek!
 
 This ain't a bug report, it's something that might belong to
 freebsd-questions@freebsd.org, or into Usenet.
 
 Grrr, and you've even sent this twice!

 Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)

 They are supported for quite some time, but their autoconfigure
 features will never be supported under 2.1.0 ...
 
 I can provide you with information on how to make both the RTL8029
 (using the "de" driver) and the AMD PCnet/PCI (as a "lnc") work under
 2.1.0R, but you may want to consider upgrading to a more recent 
 release where they work out of the box.
