When re-booting a normally working Linux machine that has an LCS interface, I was greeted with these messages:
Aug 26 19:00:51 wasprd kernel: Starting lcs module $Revision: 1.132 $ $Date: 20 02/04/30 19:13:38 $ Aug 26 19:00:51 wasprd kernel: with chandev support,with multicast support, with ethernet support, with token ring support.

Aug 26 19:00:51 wasprd kernel: No lcs capable cards found Aug 26 19:00:51 wasprd kernel: Terminating lcs module. And access to the LCS interface was not functioning. Just rebooting it started the interface fine. With the LCS addresses dedicated in the directory entry, what would cause the interface to not initialize? -- Rich Smrcina Sr. Systems Engineer Sytek Services, A Division of DSG Milwaukee, WI rsmrcina at wi.rr.com rsmrcina at dsgroup.com Catch the WAVV!
