This is intentional! You have reserved lnc0 for an ISA card, and PCI starts with the next unit number after those reserved for cards on other bus types ... > Second, it doesn't mention its Ethernet address at all.

I know that the Lance driver works with PCNet/PCI cards for other people ... The ifconfig command looks right!

Please send a *verbose* boot message log (enter "-v" at the "Boot: " prompt). Do not change anything else. The interface name of the PCI card will be "lnc1". Please do also send the output of "ifconfig -a" from a kernel that displayed the following line: > Aug 3 20:28:49 toad /kernel: lnc1 <PCNet/PCI Ethernet adaptor> rev 22 > int a irq 9 on pci0:18 which looks perfectly fine ... [Make sure there is no other device configured for IRQ 9, BTW.] Regards, STefan
