I personally would love to see the cresendo cards supported.  To my 
understanding they have SMT in hardware.

For the sun boards to work, I'm told that software SMT is needed.  On the
upside, if they are made to work, we probably would see a lot more FDDI
support for all *BSD platforms added quickly.
