:Uhm uhm uhm. You do *not* want to say things like that within earshot
:of me. Describe the cards better. Describe how you came to the
:conclusion that they aren't supported. What chip is on them? If it's
:the LC82C115 then these are the LNE100TX Version 2.0 with Wake On LAN,
:and they *are* supported: you need to use the if_dc driver. It should
:be in the GENERIC kernel. This same driver now also supports the older
:LNE100TX with the 82c168/82c169 PNIC chips. In fact the dc driver now
:supports all of the DEC tulip workalike chipsets. (Well, except for
:the Winbond W89C840F, which is still supported by the wb driver.) The
:really really old LNE100TX cards were based on the DEC 21140, and
:LinkSys doesn't sell those anymore, so I doubt you have one of those.

Heh heh. Indeed, they are LNE100TX V2.0 cards.
I'll try adding 'dc' in. If it works, can I add a comment about
'LNE100TX' cards to the comments in LINT for 'dc'?
