It does, but it's very small and only contains the extended expansion card
ID, the Ethernet address and a few other bits. In particular, it doesn't
have a chunk directory, so there's no podule description (for *Podules) or
driver module.

That should be enough for NetBSD's ei(4) to at least attach to it. I'm
not sure there's much I can do to help without reviving my building and
testing infrastructure here, which isn't going to happen for at least a
week or two.
