I think I am using two of them but I can't remember for sure and am
unwilling to open my box just to find out. :)  It's a standard PCI
10/100 card and they show up in my dmesg.boot file as this:

dc0: <82c169 PNIC 10/100BaseTX> port 0x6100-0x61ff mem
0xf4000000-0xf40000ff irq
 10 at device 18.0 on pci0

dc1: <82c169 PNIC 10/100BaseTX> port 0x6200-0x62ff mem
0xf4001000-0xf40010ff irq
 11 at device 19.0 on pci0

So they use the 'dc' driver.

HTH,
