 Well, they are just references - no drivers.

 Yep.

 Keyspan have a Linux driver for all their adapters on their web site. As my
 laptop is dual-boot (SuSE 8.1Pro and OBSD 3.2), this got me going, but I'd
 prefer to use it with OBSD.

 As there isn't already support for any such device, I have no idea even how
 to get started. NetBSD isn't much help here, either :-)
