ibm token ring

[ddsmith]

Hey there... I'm having some problems getting debian to see this 
IBM token ring card. Is there a driver somewhere I can download or 
will deb not fly with TR?

Have you recompiled your kernel with a token ring driver
or module?  I don't think the dl'able kernel has that
by default.

Try using the diagnostic tools and setting the card to Auto 16/4. I have a
Turbo 16/4 at work and it works fine. The routing table looks strange - how
does the kernel pick which card to send data out on?

IBM Token Ring Card [does not work]

[dg]

Hello all !

I' trying to configure a IBM Token Ring card with Debian GNU/Linux.

I have built the kernel with Token Ring support, and have the IBM Tropix
driver built as a module. Now look whats happening, when I try to use the
card.

- root session transscript follows -

[... and so on ... nothing happens only this message is repeated ...]

 end of session transscript --

I have tested two cards (one 8 bit ISA and one 16 bit ISA) and none works. 
The 16 bit card works fine in an other PC with SCO Unix.

I'm not a real unix hacker, so could please anyone tell what I should do
next ???

Tnx in advance!

Bye

Daniel
