It will work under -current and all 2.2 SNAPs (I added the code in May), but you have to specify the attach address to the ISA probe under -stable (and all 2.1 releases including 2.1.6.1). There was an interface change, that never made it into 2.1, and I did not bother to work around the old code not dealing with non-(E)ISA devices. (There is a unit number used as a parameter, and PCI devices don't have one assigned as far as the driver is concerned. There is no limiting array of units under PCI, but if I had introduced one for the ED and LNC drivers, I could have made the PCI code detect them ...) Regards, STefan devices.
