Doesn't help him very much.  He's been asking for 1.1.5.1.

>3.      LINT - other possible configurations

Yup, this will also help for 1.1.5.1:

# driver for the Western Digital and SMCC WD80xx cards, for the Novell
# NE1000/2000 card and the 3COM 3C503 card.
device ed0 at isa? port 0x280 net irq 5 iomem 0xd8000 vector edintr
# driver for the AT&T Starlan card.
device ie0 at isa? port 0x360 net irq 7 iomem 0xd0000 vector ieintr
#driver for the Isolan AT 4114-0 and the Isolink 4110 ethernet card.
device is0 at isa? port 0x280 net irq 10 drq 7 vector isintr
#device ix0 at isa? port 0x320 net irq 10 iomem 0xd0000 iosiz 32768 vector\

# driver for the Etherlink III ( 3C509 ) card, beta version.
device ep0 at isa? port 0x300 net irq 10 vector epintr
#driver for the 3c501
device el0 at isa? port 0x300 net irq 9 vector elintr
# IBM/National PCMCIA ethernet cards
device ze0 at isa? port 0x300 net irq 5 iomem 0xd8000 vector zeintr

I think, the most stable driver has been the `ed' driver, and the
WD8013 (compatible) cards.  I'm also running the `is' driver with an
esoteric Isolan board.

Xircom will only give out information based on an NDA.

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
