The A/ROSE type of card, which I'd guess is what Jason has, is not
supported as far as I can tell.  This type of card has a 68000 processor
on it that is used to offload some of the processing tasks from the main
processor.  I could be wrong on this, but it seems that every time we talk
about the Apple EtherNet NB card, it's the one with the 68000 on it.

This is probably an interrupt problem that needs to be resolved... the
kernel is not likely to be dealing with the internal video interrupt at
all.
