Anthony,

You might know this already, but when the DE450's (from Digital) were about,
they had a Mac driver available  (Actually it may have been SMC that released
the driver, but I know we had a Mac with a 2104x based card working in it).  I
assume Asante (a well known Mac Ethernet vendor), have released a similar
product to try and cash in on the market.
