Isn't the de driver supposed to handle this?

From the if_ed.c file (on 2.1.5R):

/*
 * DEC DC21040 PCI Ethernet Controller
 *
 * Written by Matt Thomas
 * BPF support code stolen directly from if_ec.c
 *
 *   This driver supports the DEC DE435 or any other PCI
 *   board which support DC21040, DC21041, or DC21140 (mostly).
 */

Don't ask me what 'mostly' means. Or is the trailing 'A' a
showstopper?
