It depends on the accelerator. Some of them have a pass thru connector to 
let you connect the Ethernet card to it. Others do not have that passed 
port, and so end up being the only item that can be installed in the PDS 
slot. I don't know if the Daystar will let you piggy back or not (should 
be obvious upon looking at it)

However, even if you can't piggy back the ethernet card to the 
accelerator, you may be able to use a SCSI to Ethernet box connected to 
the SCSI port on the back (do these work with NetBSD?)
