Hi,

I can speak from experience.  I have a IIcx with an Apple video card and
an Asante MacCon Nubus ethernet card.  For me, adding the ethernet card
was plug and play.  When you boot up, you should see a message saything
that the kernel recognizes your card.  Here is a snippet from mine:

nubus0 at mainbus0
ae0 at nubus0: address 00:00:94:61:3d:e5, type MacCon Ethernet, 32k mem.
macvid0 at nubus0: Toby frame buffer card

I use the IIcx as a web server (http://bullwinkle.aisol.net) and other
things.  I have been running 1.2 with the Asante card for months but
coincidentally, I am upgrading to 1.2.1 today.
