Description wolfgang 2000-11-12 13:20:00 UTC

When booting a kernel compiled with devices lnc, miibus and pcn the
device lnc0 is being found, but the hardware-address is not reported
and it does not work.
Relevant lines from dmesg:
Nov 12 10:37:48 vectra /kernel: lnc0: <PCNet/PCI Ethernet adapter> port 0xffe0-0xffff irq 9 at device 3.0 on pci0
Nov 12 10:37:48 vectra /kernel: lnc0: driver is using old-style compatability shims

When booting a kernel without device pcn the lines look like this:
Nov 12 13:36:08 vectra /kernel: lnc0: <PCNet/PCI Ethernet adapter> port 0xffe0-0xffff irq 9 at device 3.0 on pci0
Nov 12 13:36:09 vectra /kernel: lnc0: PCnet-32 VL-Bus address 08:00:09:6e:35:b0
Nov 12 13:36:09 vectra /kernel: lnc0: driver is using old-style compatability shims

Fix: 

Work around: Build a custom kernel without device pcn.
How-To-Repeat: 
	Booting a kernel with both drivers for lnc and pcn on this machine.

Uhm.. *of course* this should read 'as of 2001/01/01' :)

G'luck,
Peter
