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.

resetting
the IBM tokenring adapter takes a long time. It might not even help when the
ring is very busy, so we just wait a little longer and hope for the best.
[... 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
