Hello all, I recently purchases a Linksys EtherFast LNE100TX (version 2) NIC card (as it was cheap and on the "supported list" :). I was grepping through a very recently CVSup'ed LINT for clues on which driver I needed to include in my kernel config to get this beastie recognized. It was not apparent (wether to choose the 'mx' or 'pn' driver). With minimal digging around through the archives and a few "man 4 <driver>"'s I soon discovered that it should be the "mx" driver. I've included a small diff to LINT which explains that the 'mx' driver also supports this chip (PNIC II) found in the Linksys LNE100TX version 2. Perhaps it will help other buyers of this card get to paydirt quicker. I didn't know if something this small 'deserved' a send-pr ...
