    I have a

    de0: <Digital 21041 Ethernet> port 0xe800-0xe87f mem 0xea001000-0xea00107f irq 17 at device 9.0 on pci0
    de0: [GIANT-LOCKED]
    de0: DEC DE450-CA 21041 [10Mb/s] pass 1.1
    de0: Ethernet address: 00:00:f8:30:dd:c2
    de0: if_start running deferred for Giant

    that is no longer in use. If it will be of help, I'll mail it to
    you (you'll need to give me your shipping address).
