  I have a ce3b-100 that I was never able to make work with NetBSD (on
i386 or hpcmips).  I didn't really look into it to closely and the dongle
has sine broken, so I can't test it now.  However, plugging it into my
i386 machine running 2.0_BETA shows xi0 and two ukphys.  I don't recall if
it did this previously.  What netbsd version are you using?  It doesn't
look like there are too many changes between 1.6 and 2.0, but it might be
worth trying a 2.0 kernel (you can get one from releng.netbsd.org and
can test it with 1.6 userland).
