Token-ring support



Hi,

I'm trying to get a token-ring adapter to work.

When the module probes for the adapter, it doesn't find it.
Nor when I try different base addresses.

I'v compiled an exremely minimalistic kernel with nothing
fancy to make sure there's no conflict, but this didn't
work either.

I have RTF Token-ring HOWTO.

The card is a 3Com 3c619B [4/16], which is reported to work
just fine.

The box is a tired Compaq p5-75/32, an oldie, BUT when the card
was in an identical machine it worked with windows (NT 4 & 95).

System is RedHat 4.2 / kernel 2.0.30-3. All relevant packages
are at updates-4.2 level (I hope).

One tiny hunch I have is that I'm probing without being
connected to the ring. Alas, since I'm configuring this box
away from its destined location, I can't connect it. Hmmm...
will connecting to an otherwise empty "hub" help?

Thanks lots,
Gaal
