It's been supported for rather long (perhaps even since early 386BSD days?), since it uses the Lance chipset (Am 7990 if i'm not mistaken). This one has been covered by the `is' driver in previous releases, and is now supported by the `lnc' driver. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
