That card probably has an 82c168 "PNIC" chip on it so neither of those 
types will work.  Believe me, it sucks (look at the FreeBSD driver for 
all of the hackarounds for chip bugs).  I have two of those and even 
Linux-2.4 with all their elves plinking on it I can't get crap rate 
through it, unlike the 21140 I have (at least when I tried it last).

I've got a LinkSys EtherFast 10/100 PCI card.  Model # is LNE100TX-CA, version 4.1.  So far I've tried both ETHER0=type=ec2t and 2114x (based on previous posts) to no avail.

When it boots up, ndb/dns complains about not having an IP address.  (I have a DHCP server running on the LAN which works fine w/ Win98/2k).  Any ideas?  Thanks in advance...

[9fans] ndb/dns & mbr boot problem

[?????? ?????]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 969 bytes --]

Hi all, 
I installed Plan 9 distribution succesfully (into 400 mb partition & boot from win9x menu), but when it boots up I see 

kfs ... boot: nop ... time
int: starting /bin/rc
ndb/dns: can`t read my ip address
disk/fdisk: did not find master boot record

What must I do?
Thanks in advance...

My hardware is:
Pentium 166 MMX
S3 86C775/86C785 Video BIOS
YAMAHA DX-XG PCI audio
64 mb RAM
Seagate IDE HDD 3098 mb
Topic 56k Internal Data Fax Voice Modem
and other

And this is my /sys/lib/pcdist/bin/386/pci file:

bus   dev     type     uid      did     intl       memory

if what is on the card really is one of the PNIC variants
supported by ether2114x.c, you might need to add a new vendor/device ID
pair to that driver before it will recognise the card,
and you'll need to decide which of the two Pnic cases it matches.
you can often get that from the BIOS inventory, or use
/sys/lib/pcdist/bin/386/pci (carefully, since it prods the PCI registers).

my Netgear cards with Pnic[2], FA310TX i think, have about the same data rate
as others i've tried, and it's faster than some, so it's not all bad news.
(FA311 and FA312 are completely different devices.)
