it's a variant that's not supported, or for which support has been
added since 3.7.

It's definitely a USR997902 - but I suspect you're right on the money re the
"since 3.7" bit. The RE(4) man page on the box in question doesn't mention
this NIC, in contrast to
http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.c...i386&sektion=4.

Bums. Will have to wait for November

Yeah, considered this. But I have a severe allergy to the bleeding edge .

I'll wait (or buy a different NIC). No rush.
