Concerning lnc:
 
While in the age of 2.1-... i've got the PC-Net/PCI driver working (breed
from linux of my own). The problem of working/notworking was purely
in alignment (AMD's are a bit crazy on that, not bounce buffers. If you
want to have a look, drop me a note, i'll give it to you.
Also William D. Ward <euswdwj@exu.ericsson.se> is investigating the
problems with AMD drivers right now.
Manuals on AMD chips you may get on AMD itself or
