Klaus TP765L and TP765D are very similar. I read you use a 2.2.16 kernel with 3.1.17 PCMCIA support. What is the exact model of your Token Ring PCMCIA adapter ? Best regards -- Jean-Pierre Norguet IBM Global Services Belgium

Hi Jean-Pierre, [...] Well, I have a PCMCIA Turbo 16/6 Token-Ring PC-Card from IBM (of course ....) Produced in 9/99. Perhaps also the MAC Adress: 00609457A836 In parallel a colleage of mine has installed Linux 2.2.18 and PCMCIA 3.1.23. Both does not help. He is now in contact with a guy from the News forum on www.linuxtr.net: mike_phillips at urscorp.com Here is a copy of the latest discussion: (see below)I hereby have to say there are several Turbo 16/4 series. The Turbo 16/4 version 2 is known to work easier.

This sounds like an memory allocation problem: something seems to reside in the memory areas you are using. I see 2 options: 1. try different memory areas, like: mmiobase=0xd2000, srambase=0xd4000) 2. upgrade to new 2.2.18 kernel and latest 3.1.23 pcmcia-cs package, with no configuration line at all. The ISRP messages seems bogus: the adapter is trying to read from i/o memory and getting nonsense values, hence the error messages. I suggest to ignore these. For more information about error messages, you can search the IBM hardware library for the document mentioned in the ibmtr_cs source.

Hi Mike, its me again. I have installed the Kernel 2.2.18, the pcmcia package 3.1.23, the new driver ibmtr_cs from www.linuxtr.net, and tried it with and without options in /etc/pcmcia/config.opts. But nothing happens. The driver is loaded correctly, cardinfo displays all infos, name, irq, io base. But network will not start. Allways the same error when i try to start network: "Device temp. not available". Do you have any idea ? What can i do to check options ? I´m not sure if i have configured the kernel right. I used the base Token Ring support, but no chipset, neither as module or fixed. Was that right?

Hi, Below is additional information from the IBM Linux web site. Hope that helps. Best regards -- Jean-Pierre Norguet IBM Global Services Belgium Category: Token-Ring Model/Vendor: IBM Type: Turbo 16/4 Date submitted: 08/02/2000 (Embedded image moved to file: pic09304.gif) A short description of your comments: PCMCIA Turbo 16/4 (Embedded image moved to file: pic12426.gif) This is what I have to say:. (Embedded image moved to file: pic14210.gif) I'm using PCMCIA Turbo Token Ring 16/4 without problem with TP 380ED and RH 6.2 In /etc/pcmcia/config.opts include port 0x100-0x4FF, port 0XA00-0XAFF, port 0X1000-0X17FF include memory 0XC0000-0XFFFFF exclude irq 3 exclude irq 4 exclude irq 5 exclude irq 7 module "ibmtr_cs" opts "mmiobase=0XD4000 srambase=0XD8000"This has been reported to work. According to the next mail from SuSE support, any further problem implies reinstallation (sic).

Hello Hermann and Sascha, hereafter an hint from Jean-Pierre. I tried it with my uggly fingers. But got only terrible errors. Also appended the supposal from suse support (sounds like reinstallation) Hermann, your Q about how I compiled the Kernel: 2.2.18 was compiled from Sascha. As far as I know, the TR support was built in, without secifying any driver (or so...) Jean-Pierre, thank you very much for your support.

Die Ringspeed habe ich mit 4 und 16 probiert. Alles mit dem 2.2.16 (Laut Ihrer Anweisung) und ebenfalls mit meinem 2.2.18. Da sieht es beim RCPCMCIA START besser aus. Tja, sieht so aus, als ob da was total im Argen ist. Oder? Moeglicherweise wurde schon zuviel vermischt; PCMCIA 3.1.17 und 3.1.23; Kernel 2.2.16/ 2.2.18.; die PCMCIA Module sind bei SuSE im Kernelpaket enthalten. Installieren Sie bitte wieder den Original SuSE Kernel und das Original SuSE PCMCIA Paket mit YaST1. Bei Ihrem 2.2.18 Kernel mit dem PCMCIA Paket 3.1.23 hat die messages allerdings gut ausgesehen - dennoch kann ich Sie Ihnen mit dieser Kombination nicht weitersupporten, da ich keine vergleichbare Konfiguration habe. Selbstkompilierte Kernel und Programmpakete sind vom Installations-Support ausdruecklich ausgenommen.
