Yes, but Ether1 is the only one usefully supported by all of them.  (And
no, looking at the Linux and NetBSD sources for the Ether1 driver
doesn't help - we'd need to emulate something that the RISC OS driver is
willing to talk to too, and it does a load of magical voodoo stuff that
the Linux and NetBSD ones don't.  I don't know if the RISC iX one does,
I've not tried.)
