What's with lnc1 cards these days?! I am trying to figure out an lnc1 initialization failure on a Compaq now, but I was able to resolve a similar problem on an HP Kayak the other day. It seems that there was some shared IRQs going on. The USB port and the ethernet card both had IRQ 11. The way I resolved it was to turn on bus mastering for the PCI slot the thernet card was in. Also, check to make sure you're not doing shared IRQs. I couldn't turn this feature off, but you may be able to. Check to make sure everything has unique IRQs. Play with the BIOS some to see if that helps. Disabling PnP OS in Phoenix BIOSes seems to have a good effect sometimes. edx device timeouts relate to IRQ conflicts. Let me know if that helps.
