Booting a 2.1.0 system I get 
[...]
le0 not found at 0x300
lnc0 not found at 0x280
lnc1 at 0x300-0x30f irq 10 drq 0 on isa
lnc1: BICC (C-LANCE) Ethernet controller, address 00:00:40:01:00:00


Later I'm trying to start the interface and get

lnc1: Initialisation failed

This is a ASUS PCI/I P54?? board. The Lance controller is a DEC
DE 205 Etherworks III which works fine under Win95%/NT in that
very same box.

Any clues? The ethernet address looks a bit strange, doesn't it?
