This looks a lot like the NewerTech LC10.  Did you have to install a 
special Ethernet driver under MacOS to get it to work, or does it run 
with the standard Apple driver?  Have you tried it on a PowerMac, or just 
a 68k Mac?  If it's based on the NewerTech LC10 it will only work under 
MacOS with the special driver they provide and it will only work on a 68k 
Mac.  And if it's this card I suspect you'll have a long way to go to get 
it working under NetBSD.

I'm surprised you couldn't find a less expensive card that is supported.  
There have been a bunch of Apple LC/PDS cards offered on eBay recently 
and they go for $30-$45, plus they work under NetBSD.
