I am looking to add networking to my Packard Bell 80486 system running NetBSD 1.0. According to the NetBSD documentation the 3C509 card is natively supported. A look through Ebay and I see the 3C509 as well as 3C509B cards available with the latter being more plentiful and therefore a wider range of pricing. I'd like to buy the 3C509B card but want to ensure it would be seen by the OS without having to mess around with locating drivers.
Anyone know if the two are directly interchangeable?
