I'm not having much luck getting my Lance-based PCI Ethernet cards
working on my new P-133 and would appreciate some help.
Before now I was running FreeBSD 2.1.0-RELEASE on my old P-90 and
everything worked perfectly.

My old system info:
   TMC PCI54PV motherboard (ISA/VESA/PCI),
   OPTI chipset (82C596/82C597/82C822),
   P54C/CT 90 MHz microprocessor,
   256KB cache SRAM, 32MB DRAM,
   two PCnet-PCI (AMD 79C970) ethernet cards,
   FreeBSD 2.1.0-RELEASE

Yesterday I upgraded to a new motherboard and after that the ifconfig
returns `Initialisation failed', though I'm still using the same old
kernel and my PCI network cards are recognized by the lnc driver during
the boot process.

My new system info:
   J-656 motherboard (ISA/PCI),
   Intel 82430FX PCIset chipset,
   P54C 133MHz microprocessor,
   256KB pipelined burst synchronous cache SRAM, 32MB EDO DRAM

Here are the relevant lines from the boot log:
   ...

   ...
   Jun 17 18:17:54 beta /kernel: lnc0: Initialisation failed
   Jun 17 18:17:54 beta /kernel: lnc1: Initialisation failed

Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Alex
