Looks like the dec 21040 based simple cards work fine.

We tested a SMC power pci card with 21040 -- worked.
We tested a PowerNIC cn935e from cnet (21041 based) -- worked.
We tested a Cogent 964 with four ethernets on it -- the first
ether (de0) worked.

The problem came with the other three ethers:

If I ran ifconfig de1, the fbsd 2.1.0 kernel just frooze.

Looks like one needs some sort of

controller pci1

statement for the kernel. I'm not sure this is already supported.
Someone else have an idea ? I'd *love* to built routers from that
kind of stuff 8-)

Now, here's /var/log/messages:
