  a bit of devil's advocating on the dc(4) NICs ( or at least the linksys lne
  100tx v4 knockoff ADMTEK something-something i have (this is different than the NIC
  i am borrowing)):

  http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=openbsd-misc&m=108602757127104&w=2

  so just any dc is probably not the holy grail.

  in that post i mention the PC not booting with an fxp(4); i've since found
  out that the issue was just the m/b being hokey.  AGP was kinda hokey on 
  that m/b too.
