Allen,

It has the DP8390CN chip on the board. How would I go about getting the ae driver to work with it?

Thanks!

Yeah, it's one of the unsupported ones.  Take a look at the card and see
if you can figure out what chip it uses.  If it's a DP 8390 or 83902,
then it's likely that we can figure out how to teach the ae driver how
to talk to it (basically the same as the ed driver from the i386 port).
If it's a 83932, then it's likely that the sn driver can be taught how
to talk to it.  If it doesn't fit into those categories, then you're
best bet (unless you're looking for a project ;-) is probably to swap
ethernet cards with someone who has an Asante or something...
