I have a system very like this with a RiscPC and a CATS based system.
My RiscPC's ethernet card is an old ANT Ether3 podule.  This has
10BaseT only, but has no problems with being set up by NetBSD without
RISCOS getting a look in. I know this because to start with, RISCOS
was not aware of the card, although NetBSD was. (I hadn't changed a
link to sya that the ROM I put in for StrongARM compatability was
bigger than the one I took out).

I have had no problems communicating NetBSD <-> NetBSD, and since
fixing the link, no problems communicating RISC OS <-> NetBSD either.
