The chip is basically two chips in one that are completely independant of each other and the lnc0 driver should just see it as a plain PCnet-PCI chip. It'll probably probe as a PCnet-VL chip though because of a known problem in the lance probe code for PCI (yes, I'll look at this soon :-) I'd be interested to see the probe output too and to hear if the lnc0 driver does work properly with this chip. The few reports I've had suggests it does. -- Paul Richards. Originative Solutions Ltd. Internet: paul@netcraft.co.uk, http://www.netcraft.co.uk Phone: 0370 462071 (Mobile), +44 1225 447500 (work)
