the driver. Doing this breaks the ability to unload the unneeded
parts of the driver (e.g unload the PCI section when using an ISA
card), but currently ifconfig(8) expects an interface `XXX' to have
a driver name of `if_XXX'.

newbus in revision 1.19. As a result, lnc was, I believe, broken
for all PCI cards. The softc fields `lnc_btag' and `lnc_bhandle'
were not initialised, `rap', `rdp' and `bdp' were initialised to
the wrong values, and the size of the DMA ring memory was calculated
incorrectly.
Paul Richards has further cleanups in the pipeline, but this at
least is enough to make the driver usable with VMware.

.. to 2.2.x and 3.x if people think it's worth it. Driver writers can do
this if it's not defined. (The reason for this is that I'm trying to
progressively eliminate use of linker_sets where it hurts modularity and
runtime load capability, and these DATA_SET's keep getting in the way.)
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
This code applies to several systems with integrated Ethernet
chip, for example from HP or Compaq. It should also support
PCI Ethernet cards based on the AMD PCI Lance chip.
This code has been reviewed (visually) by Paul Richards and
tested (using an ISA Lance board) by Joerg Wunsch.
Since the parameters to nearly each and every single function
had to be changed (generally from unit number to lnc_soft*),
there is some potential for buglets having crept in ...
BEWARE: If you had lnc0 configured to have the ISA probe find
your PCI Lance, then it should now be found by the PCI probe,
and should be automatically configured as pci1 (!!! note the "1").
