I was just given a new laptop (a BSI NP-2850), which has a built-in
ethernet card.  I've loaded 4.0 (from CD), and things seem to be working
fairly smoothly except for the ethernet.

At boot, I get

...
lnc0: <PCNet/PCI Ethernet adapter> port 0x10e0-0x10ff mem 0xfc018000-0xfc01801f irq 9 at device 11.0 on pci0
lnc0: driver is using old-style compatability shims
...

but it can't be found after that.  ifconfig claims not to know anything
about an interface named `lnc0'.

Plug-n-pray is set to NO, and I've installed a stripped-down kernel (even
removing the pcic stuff, since the only thing I'd normally add on is an
ethernet card).

Am I missing something obvious?

Thanks...
