It may, however, work with the ``lnc'' driver. There have been several reports of people who got it to work with the lnc driver, but they had to manually configure the port address. I have written the PCI probe code for the PCI Lance, but had no time to import it into the -current tree, yet :( To manually configure the card, boot with "-v", look for a PCI card of class "network (Ethernet)" and use the port address reported for the ISA device "lnc0". You can either rebuild your kernel or boot into config mode (enter "-c" at the "Boot: " prompt) and then use the command (assuming the port used is 0x7000 and the PCI slot got IRQ 12 assigned to INT A): config> port lnc0 0x7000 config> irq lnc 12 config> q I'll try to get the Lance probe code into -current before the end of next week. It will make the card be detected as "lnc1", though ! (This is to allow another Lance to be present on ISA. Since the PCI scan comes first, it is not known whether there actually is such a card.)
