It should do. 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.
