Has anyone managed to get 386BSD to work correctly with the WD8003E ethernet
card?  I ultimately gave up on using this card for my development machine many
months ago and bought an SMC/WD Elite16 Combo card instead which worked fine.
However, I have several machines with the old WD8003E card available at USC &
I'd like to be able to put 386BSD up on those machines using the WD8003E as a
primary network interface.  Are the WD8003E cards working with 386BSD + patch
now -- or are they still error prone?

Thanks, AJ
