IBM Token Ring Card [does not work]



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.

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
