I'm confused (as usual).

I bought a Linksys EtherPCI LAN Card II after checking the Handbook to
see if it was supported.

The Handbook say this NIC is based on the DEC DC21xxx.

The Handbook and the LINT kernel config say to use de0 for DEC DC21xxx
NICs.

So I configured a new kernel with the de0 device, built, installed,
rebooted ---- and nada. No probe, no nothing.

The kernel config created /usr/src/sys/compile/mumble/de.h, which
contains "#define NDE 1"; but I grepped over the entire kernel source
for "de.h" and NDE, and found not a single occurance of either.

I grepped the FAQ and the Handbook for more, but found nothing. Where is
the support for this device?

This is on 3.0-RELEASE (x86).

(I subscribe to hackers, not questions, so if the question is answered
in questions, please either cc hackers or me directly, whichever is more
appropriate. Thanks.)

Thanks in advance.
