My apologies. I've tested a number of cards and posted my finding a
couple of times so I thought it had been included. Here's what I wrote
last time this came up:
In the mac68k port I've tested and used the following:
With the "ae" driver the Asante MacCON-III+ card in a PDS LC-II/III slot.
This card uses the ST-NIC DP83902AV chip.
With the "sn" driver the Apple LC Twisted-pair (part #820-0532-A) card in
a PDS LC-II/III slot. This card uses the Sonic DP83934BVUL chip.
Cards which didn't work:
The last time I tested it the Dayna card model #m0437z/b which uses the
Sonic DP83934AVQB chip was partially recognized by the "ae" driver, but
was not functional. This was last tested with a 1.3.2 kernel. This was
also a PDS LC-11/III slot card.
Also the Newertech LC10 never worked in the PDS slot. It wasn't even
recognized during kernel probe.
hope this helps,
