I checked through LINT and the 2.2.8 Release to discover if this HP fast ethernet card (using AMD PCnet Fast chip AM79C871KC) is supported and came across the lnc0 driver (Thanx Mate, to the person that responded with the same information). I presumed that that was for the AMD PCnet/PCI (79c970 & 53c974 or 79c974) as mentioned in the 2.2.8 Release info. I tried it and the card was recognized as lnc1 rather than lnc0. I also presume that the reason for that is that the lnc0 line in the kernel is for an ISA card. Anyway, the card works but does cause the kernel to display an error message as follows: <0.3> babel /kernel lnc1: Heartbeat Error -- SQE test failed This error is reported thousands of times (truthfully) during a ftp of around 48MB (and at other times too) but doesn't prevent packets from being transmitted or received. I mention this in hopes that this information will be useful for improving the driver code and adding support for more ethernet cards.
