Huh? I though that the SS-2 had an AUI connector, so all
you need is an external transceiver, not a NIC. I've used them with
Thicknet, Thinnet, and 10BaseT at various times.
Yes you are right. It's been a little while since I've pulled that
machine out, but all it needed was an external transceiver. Hopefully
I'll be able to dust it off at some point in the near future and see
if it runs 4.0 well.

The oldest one which I am still running (at present) is an old
Sun LX -- running an older Solaris, but a planned changeover to OpenBSD.
Intended function is DNS server.
Enjoy,
