I wasn't talking specifically about network cards. But if you want
specific examples...

How about the x86 or parisc cpu, and all their derivatives, are those

I've worked on OpenGL capable grapics card drivers of various
vintages, and I honestly don't think there is anything in there more
complex than what we have to deal with in the kernel.
