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
complex enough for you? :-)

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.
