Re: RH 4.1 and IBM Token Ring



Move thyself into the source directory and then into drivers/net and grep
it with confidence for that message then tell us what driver file it is in
and at what line. arb is an address resolution buffer normally and 21 is
21 until we see the sources. I suppose that this is a command that is not
suppoorted by the card. Perhaps you will have to hack the driver gently to
make it work... Also if you get the message flooding all the consoles you
need to see what your logging permissions are. I suppose that the message
is printed with printk and that it should land on the console only.

PS: imho, if you want us to like your jokes, leave the point in and patch
your question - for example to be asked by the nun ;)
