Description kabaev 2001-03-07 04:50:02 UTC

	lnc driver uses lnc_pci and lnc_isa names for its bus interface parts.
	It should use "if_lnc" name instead, otherwise ifconfig will attempt
	to load dynamic module each time if is invoked for lncX interface.
	This produces fairly annoying "lnc_pc failed to register: 17" 
	messages.

How-To-Repeat: 	Compile in lnc driver and try to configure IP on it (you'll need a 
	card obviously, or you should be running FreeBSD under VMWare)

Paul says that he has been aware of this issue for some time, but 
that he would like to retain the ability to load/unload the ISA 
and PCI parts of the lnc driver separately. Apparently the logic 
in ifconfig(8) for loading interface driver modules is not very 
flexible in this respect. It may be ifconfig that needs to be 
improved to handle such cases correctly.

I have committed your patch - this may not result in the most 
desirable behaviour, but it will do for now. It avoids the annoying 
warnings and makes lnc consistent with other drivers. Thanks for 
the problem report!
