[ltp] token ring

Thu, 9 Mar 2000 17:13:28 -0500

Dear George,

As an IBM employee I am indeed using the IBM 16/4 PCMCIA Token Ring Card.
My /etc/pcmcia/config.opts looks like this:

#
# Local PCMCIA Configuration File
#
# System resources available for PCMCIA devices
#
include port 0x100-0x4ff, port 0x1000-0x17ff
#Orig: include memory 0xc0000-0xfffff, memory 0xa0000000-0xa0ffffff
include memory 0xc0000-0xfffff, memory 0x60000000-0x60ffffff
#
# Extra port range for IBM Token Ring
#
include port 0xa00-0xaff
#
exclude port 0x2f8-0x2ff
#
# Resources we should not use, even if they appear to be available
#
exclude irq 0
#
# First built-in serial port COM1
exclude irq 4
# Second built-in serial port COM2
#exclude irq 3
# First built-in parallel port LPT1
exclude irq 7
# Sound
exclude irq 5
#
# Options for loadable modules
#
# To fix sluggish network with IBM ethernet adapter...
#module "pcnet_cs" opts "irq_list=9 mem_speed=600"
#
# Options for Xircom Netwave driver...
#module "netwave_cs" opts "domain=0x100 scramble_key=0x0"
#
# Options for IBM 16/4 Token Ring Card...
# [Don't tinker with them anymore! GJ sramsize=32 hangs the machine]
module "ibmtr_cs" opts "irq_list=9 mmiobase=0xd2000 srambase=0xd4000 sramsize=16"
#
# Options for NetGear FA410TXC Fast Ethernet (NE2000 Compatible: io 0x300, irq 9, hw_addr 00:80:C8:8D:E1:55)
module "pcnet_cs" opts "irq_list=9"
#
# Options for Data/Fax Modem card:
module "serial_cs" opts "irq_list=3"

I am using a 2.2.10 kernel and the 3.0.13 pcmcia package.
/var/log/messages shows the following:

Hope this helps a bit!
