I just tried the 4.2 RELEASE floppies and lnc0 still fails to initialise.
lnc0 is picked up by slackware at 0x300, IRQ 11,DMA 7

Hello,
there has been a bug the the pcn driver which inhibited the use of
the lnc driver.
this bug has been corrected recently.
If you can get a newer floppy set, you may have a better luck
installing FreeBSD via a lnc NIC

Subject: lnc0 and AT1500 NICs
I have a slackware system that I am converting to FreeBSD 4.1.1
I would like to do a network install via ftp. I have an AT1500 NIC (ISA)
which evidently works with a lance-amd driver (in linux).
I selected `lnc0' in the initial kernel startup menu (after mfsroot
loads).
I try to get an IP from the DHCP server which has worked in the freebsd
box
sitting next to this one. The DEBUG screen shows that lnc0 fails to
initialise, and then finally after multiple attemtps, it says `unable to
run
DAD, possible driver problem?'.
Is there some hack to get this NIC working? the AT1500 is listed in the
handbook as definately compatible.
