I have an ASUS A78VX mainboard ("sound SPDIF version") and
the Broadcom BCM4401 NIC on it isn't supported by OpenBSD:

Sorry for sending this information multiple times to the list
but I wish someone would tell me that the NIC and the sound chip
at that mainboard don't work with OpenBSD before I bought it...
