I haven't worked with BSD UNIX before but have a customer (I'm a
consultant) that has a PC running BSD UNIX that for some reason doesn't
have a NIC installed in it.

They've asked me to install a NIC for them. The PC has an EISA bus
(yuch) and I'm free to pick any 10baseT card I want in order to do this.

If anyone has a tech note or something that explains how to add a NIC to
this setup, I'd love to see it. Thanks.
