Does anyone have it running? GENERIC does NOT see lnc0. I built my own kernel. It found the card as lnc1 but failed at port mapping. I went in the code pci/if_lnc_p.c and found it failed because pci_porten(pcicfgregs *cfg) returned 0 in pci_map_port(). cmdreg was all 0. I tried to enable the port like many other drivers, then re-read the cmdreg. It passed this point. So there is an order problem. Then the kernel complains int 255 was too high although I config it as 0x0a. intline was 0xff. I forced it to 0x0a. Now pci_wiredunit(cfg, dvp->pd_name) in pci_drvattach() gives a huge negitive number. And my unit number is set to 1 after all. Boots up fine. Finds the device and I can config the card. But it is getting timeouts all the time and keeps resetting. Never works. So after spending a day on this, it seems a better option is to get another card. But I thought it was worth to report what I saw so some one else may get it fixed. Thanks.
