:)As for supporting them in NetBSD ... one word: "100baseT"

That's not really all that great an option.  I don't know how fast the
be-based cards are, but the hme-based cards are slower in 100Base-T mode
than in 10Base-T mode.

Granted, it's great that hme is finally supported, but until someone tunes
the driver, we shouldn't raise peoples' expectations.
