Re: Strange behaviour with token ring

[jschlst]

Hello Adrian,
You may want to check to make sure that your are inserting into the ring
correctly. As some MAUs will let you insert at the wrong speed and this
will cause many wierd behaviors like you have.

Unfortunately the ibmtr.o driver does not let you specify an opening
ringspeed setting, so you may have to do a bit more work to find what
speed your adapter is opening at.
