I just tried a DEGPA-TA in my PWS500au with bug.
 
SRM does not see the card, but Tru64 5.1A initialises it correctly
during boot. Autonegotiate problems with a brain dead unmanaged switch
have been solved with lan_config.

Diagnosis: works perfectly in a 64bit slot.
pci_device_override is set to -1 and pci_parity is 1.

I have no possibility to test the card with FreeBSD at the moment.

The question remains if it is reasonable to buy a network card that
is more expensive than a used Miata.
