	Yes, awhile back I worked with Allen Briggs to get the CS ethernet
working on my Q630. I'm using an Apple CS Twisted Pair card right now, and
it works beautifully. So, if it IS a CS card then NetBSD should find it.
The code to recognize the Comm Slot was done back around 1.2G, though I
don't think it actually made it into the sources until 1.3. 

	Is the card you are using a Comm Slot card? Because the Q630 also
has an LC/PDS slot... and I haven't heard of any users using Q630 LC
ethernet.

	And yes, the card I have uses a Sonic chip, so uses the sn driver.
You may or may not have problems with an ae driver. Maybe if you send the
output of dmesg to the list, someone will be able to help you out better.
It may be that something needs to be done within the kernel to add support
for your card.
