Well, if you're system is earlier than 2.0 then use is0, if it's later than 2.0 use lnc0. In either case we definately do support the NE1500/NE2100 cards. In fact I'm pretty confident that FreeBSD has support for all AMD chipset (Lance, PCnet-ISA, PCnet-ISA+, PCnet-32 and PCnet-PCI) based ethernet cards. -- Paul Richards, FreeBSD core team member.
