If you check http://www.netbsd.org/Hardware/sbus.html it lists the
501-1881 explicitly.  I've heard success stories with the quad cards, but
I can't vouch for them personally...  I do, however, run a 501-1881 under
1.4.2 - flawless, so far.  The be card seems to work okay as well,
although performance is lackluster, even in 100 mode, and it doesn't
support full-duplex (at least, not under 1.4.2 AFAIK).

Hope this helps,
