Hmm. thanks, that's definitely food for thought.

I was hoping Jason (or someone else acquainted with stge(4) might
comment on the DGE-560T. ICplus.com.tw has a datasheet available, and
their FreeBSD-4 driver matches the same PCI vendor/device IDs as the
Sundance/Ala board. I was hoping against hope that (modulo TSO) the
DGE-560T might Just Work...
