The ethernet interface on this box is a AMD PCnet chip set(at least AMD). The issue is that ethernet interface is detected correctly on the PCI bus, but it logs the following message in dmesg: lnc0: port 0x2000-0x201f mem 0xfeb7fc00-0xfeb71c1f irq 11 at device 2.0 on pci0 lnc0: driver is using old-style compatability shims I edited the kernel config to only have: device lnc0 # without the ?isa parameters and, I tried device lnc # like other pci ethernet devices I did read through both '/usr/src/sys/i386/isa/if_lnc.c' and '/usr/src/sys/i386/pci/if_lnc_p.c'. But they didn't yield anything helpful. This could be due to my lack of understanding with how these drivers are loaded at boot time. One last piece of info, in my /etc/rc.conf file, I have: network_interfaces="lo0 lnc0" ifconfig_lnc0="inet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" Not that this really matters, since it just generates a 'lnc0 interface not found' or something like that. Any Ideas? Thanks for the help, in advance. -------- Lee Carmichael WAM!NET Inc.
