 They are supported by 4.0_BETA and -current, but
 if you need it on netbsd-3 branch could you try this patch?
 http://releng.netbsd.org/cgi-bin/req-3.cgi?show=1673
 
 You have to the following command to regenerate some device files
 after appling the patch:
 (cd src/sys/dev/pci; make -f Makefile.pcidevs)
 (cd src/sys/dev/mii; make -f Makefile.miidevs)
