} What happens with more than one ISA Lance card?  Just curious.  :-)

Well, actually the first PCI card gets as its number (NLNC +1).
If you have a device line for lnc0 and lnc1, then two ISA Lance
cards can be supported by the kernel, and the PCI cards would 
become lnc2, lnc3, ... (there is no upper limit, except the number 
of PCI slots in your system :)
