If you can get a newer floppy set, you may have a better luck installing FreeBSD via a lnc NIC TfH Peter Lai on 20/11/2000 00:26:10 To: "'stable@freebsd.org'" cc: (bcc: Thierry HERBELOT/FR/ALCATEL) Subject: lnc0 and AT1500 NICs I have a slackware system that I am converting to FreeBSD 4.1.1 I would like to do a network install via ftp. I have an AT1500 NIC (ISA) which evidently works with a lance-amd driver (in linux). I selected `lnc0' in the initial kernel startup menu (after mfsroot loads). I try to get an IP from the DHCP server which has worked in the freebsd box sitting next to this one. The DEBUG screen shows that lnc0 fails to initialise, and then finally after multiple attemtps, it says `unable to run DAD, possible driver problem?'. Is there some hack to get this NIC working? the AT1500 is listed in the handbook as definately compatible.
