I tried to install snap950322 on a system with an Ether-32VL ethernet card. This card uses the lnc driver. Two points about the install kernel and procedures: - the kernel on the disk look for the card at io 0x280, int 5; the card, by default, is at io 0x300, int 3, and, at least mine CANNOT be configured at 0x280 (the reason is probably that it seems to use a lot of IO ports). I used kernel -c to change this, but it would be nicer if the default choices in the kernel were pointing to a realistic address. - the install scripts seems to lack an entry for lnc cards. I'd suggest two things: 1) obviously, add the entry in the install scripts, 2) add a "blank" entry where the user can specify its own adapter name, to overcome the problem in case a new adapter is not supported.
