Hello, Well, as most of you no doubt know, the lnc ethernet driver is broken for PCNet/PCI chips again (it gives up when its memory is allocated above 16Mb, due to ISA limits in the driver). Would it be a good idea to strip a PCI-only lnc driver out of the ISA source, so that the ISA limits don't apply? I know this chip is not the best, but I inherited several Dual Pentium 100 workstations with integrated motherboard devices, and I need to keep them going since they are very stable and reliable SMP machines (Intergraph TD-30s). If no one wants to fix the ISA/PCI version, I would like to help extract a PCI-only version. Looking for opinions... John Hermes jhermes@infoglobe.com Infoglobe, Inc.
