I recently saw a new Ethernet interface from Interlan called the
NI5210. (well, it's new to me) Size and architecture-wise it looks
very similar to the WD8003E. It's a very small card, with dual ported
memory and no DMA (I think). One key difference is that Sun PC-NFS
V3.0 does not support it directly. PC-NFS does have NI5010 support but
I do not think that is the same. 

Does anyone have any comments on this board? I'm interested in
availability, price, performance, reliability, and software support. 
(and anything else you want to say about it)

I haven't seen app notes on architecture and performance, which WD has
for their product. (I think Interlan reads the net. I hope they get
the message.)
