The if_lnc driver doesn't contain any specific probing code for anything later than an Am79C970 - the PCnet-PCI I chip, and only seems to initialize a PCnet-PCI II because of a typo in the headers. The PCI probe is done on the PCI ID which is the same across all the AMD devices so this succeeds. My guess is that Compaq have set the thing up with some bus configuration settings that are confusing the initialization code. What is the model number on the AMD chip ? I am doing some changes to the lnc driver for stable at the moment as I am using FreeBSD to debug a laptop with an integrated Am79C970A that we are building at work.
