Hi,
how likely is a no-name 100MBit NIC to just work with 3.9 stable?
Background: When I recently tried to get a replacement for a
swapped-out FA311v1, I noticed that I can get very cheap (5) no-name
NICs (one even claimed to be NE2000 compatible), but getting brand
cards which OpenBSD supports

In my experience, very. Most are using the same chipsets (ie rl) as the
brand NICs anyway.
I cant recall ever having a NIC, brand or non-brand, that didnt work.

Very, in my experience, They almost always use a Realtek 8139 chipset - rl(4).

Very - same for no-name 1GBit. The only NIC I've seen
recently that didn't work was ULi M5261/M5263 (a dc-like
10/100 device) mostly (only?) used on motherboards with
a ULi chipset
