In this past week I've installed two FreeBSD 4.1 systems, and have been
unable to get either one to work.

The first one was a brand new dual-CPU Dell server, with a new PCA-200E.
I didn't fret too much because I assumed that we'd gotten something
wrong in the configuration or BIOS settings.

The second one was my desktop machine.  It had been running FreeBSD 4.0
with ATM very successfully.  I used the "upgrade" option of the CD-ROM,
then built a new kernel with the exact same ATM kernel config lines
as I had used for 4.0, left /etc/rc.conf alone, and rebooted.  This
system now fails to initialize the ATM in exactly the same way as
the dual-CPU Dell.  This suggests that either (a) some important detail
of establishing the configuration has changed, or (b) something broke.

As best as I can tell, it appears that cells are not being received from
the PCA-200E, but that cells are successfully being transmitted.  I can
see cells arriving at the PCA-200E on the blinking lights, and on the
Switch's statistics, but not inside FreeBSD.

I'm running the Fore PCA-200E interface via fiber into a Fore ASX-200BX
switch that has the new Pentium SCP processor in it.

Has anyone else succeeded in getting a similar configuration to work?
Any hints on what I might be doing wrong?

	Thanks!
