Nice. I have FDDI in my I2 R4400 and IRIX performs quite well with it.

Maybe NetBSD 1.6 with bridge(4) will do the job?
I use a Cabletron ESX 1320, very nice 12 port 10BaseT switch with FDDI
uplink. Only 10 MBit/s on the ethernet side, but this doesn't hurt me,
as my machines predate FastEthernet. (Exceptions are the two 500MHz
Alphas, but I simply threw DEFPAs at them instead of some ethernet
stuff.)
The Cabletron ESX 1320 uses a "Bridge Router Interface Module", that may
work in later FastEthernet gear as well...
