In fact I dont know too much about the UB MCA board. However, I know quite
a lot about our(BICC Data Networks) MCA Ethernet Controller. 

Its a Bus Master with full Ethernet-load to and from the channel.
We deliver it with Netware and packet-drivers. Additionally you may purchase
our MPS (Multi Protocol Support) which gives you the ability to run Netware,
TCP/IP and ISO-protocols concurrently (ISO-TP4, CLNS, LLC1/2). We too offer full
support for LAN-Manager and Banyan Vines. Full NDIS stuff too. 
The packet drivers we are using are in the public domain.
By the way: IBM has choosen BICC Data Networks as "Partner in Performance" with
our MCA controller.


Of course we have a streams driver for Interactive and a LLI driver for SCO et 
al. We will offer full ISO implementation on UNIX for it soon.
If you need more info mail me.
