# Hi !
# I have a PCI Ethernet card : AM79C970KC - chip, (model PE-970)
# When trying to boot with the option "-v" the following 
# messages appears:
#  
#  > pci0:13: AMD, device=0x2000, class network (ethernet) [no driver assigned]
#  >	map(10): io(ff80)
# 
# Can I make it work ?  If yes, what shall I do ?

	You need to describe it as 'lnc0' device in your kernel
	config file (or use boottime '-c' switch to configure it).
	Yes, lnc is an ISA driver, but it works nicely with
	PCI AMD cards.

	For example from a config of a machine with 2 AMD cards:

device lnc0 at isa? port 0x6000 net irq 9 drq 0 vector lncintr
device lnc1 at isa? port 0x6100 net irq 10 drq 1 vector lncintr

	Both are PCI cards. (Note: AMD card uses DMA, so be careful
	here! (see `drq'))

# Thanks in advance
