I have a couple of brand new DEFPA SAS MMF PCI cards here (how about that
# of TLAs in one sentence? ;-) I tested 'm a week ago and they work just
fine (they should, they are now, but Murphy..)

Im willing to trade for a dual/quad channel PCI 10/100 ethernet card
(that works well under FreeBSD).

A DEFTA TC card should also work. Not that I can help you getting a DEFTA
though.
