I recently installed a token ring card in my debian system (in addition to my ethernet card). To do this, I added the line:
ibmtr to my /etc/modules file. Afterwards, the system has displayed the following during bootup: tr0: ISA 16/4 Adapter/II found using irq 7, PIOaddr a24, 16K shared RAM. tr0: Hardware address : 10:00:5A:74:14:65 It seems that the O/S is loading the token ring module and is able to see the card, but when I use ifconfig to assign an IP address (or make the card active using ifconfig tr0 up), the process that is running ifconfig hangs. This is what I get when I do ifconfig -a: lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Bcast:127.255.255.255 Mask:255.0.0.0 UP BROADCAST LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:3584 Metric:1 RX packets:30 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:30 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 Collisions:0 eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:00:1B:48:CD:17 inet addr:192.168.64.18 Bcast:192.168.64.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:24 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:33 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 Collisions:0 Interrupt:10 Base address:0x360 tr0 Link encap:16/4 Mbps TR HWaddr 10:00:5A:74:14:65 inet addr:0.0.0.0 Bcast:0.0.0.0 Mask:0.0.0.0 BROADCAST MTU:2000 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 Collisions:0 Interrupt:7 Base address:0xa24 The other interface (my ethernet card) is working fine. If someone has a suggestion about how to get this thing up and running, I'd sure like to hear it. I'm stumped! Michael D. Cencula [EMAIL PROTECTED]
