There are several cards consisting of an DEC21152 PCI-PCI-Brigde and 4
DEC/intel 21143. A very well known is the DLINK 570tx (?), I'm using
CompuShack Fastline quattros here. They are all more or less equal to DECs
reference design. You should use them with the dc driver (which is broken in
2.9 - just date src/sys/dev/ic/dc* and src/sys/dev/pci/if_dc_pci.c back to 2.8,
possibly also src/sys/dev/mii/dcphy.c).
If your card has ICS1892 PHYs (like the compushack) you need to update
src/sys/dev/mii/miidevs and icsphy.c to -current, I've coded the support a
few days ago.
After all these cards are running great.

Unix is very simple, but it takes a genius to understand the simplicity.
