Do you have any machines running FreeBSD 12.0 with this interface? The
requirement is that we have at least 5 real users of the interface on
FreeBSD 12.

Many of the P III era PCs aren't beefy enough to run FreeBSD very well
(specifically, they typically lack adequate memory).

QEMU also emulates newer NICs, so you wouldn't be left w/o a solution. The
NE-2000 is still supported, as well E1000 (em/igb) interfaces.
