Hello everyone

I recently bought BSD 4.1 Desktop Edition.  The install worked just fine, =
as far as it went, it just didn't go far enough.  I need to connect to my =
office network to do anything - print, surf, whatever - but I have an =
Olicom 3118 tokenring NIC in this box. =20

I understand that to get the Olicom working, I need to build new kernel.  =
I created my own configuration file after studying LINT and starting with =
GENERIC.  I think I have the correct files in the correct places.  config, =
make depend, make and make install all work without any fatal or serious =
errors (an occasional warning comes up in make depend).

When I boot, all the devices I have defined in the config come up, except =
for the Olicom.  I get this instead=20

>>  unknown0: <Olicom Token-Ring ISA 16/4> at port 0xa00-0xa1f irq 3 drq1 =
on ISA0

This agrees with the IRQ and DMA I have set using the CFG3118 utiity from =
Olicom.

Having browsed the tokenring mailing list archive, I have seen comments =
that the ISA cards have had support dropped, to be replaced later, after =
the PCI card drivers came out.  I hope this is not the case and that =
instead I am doing something stupidly wrong.  Conversely, must I do a =
MAKEDEV?  (which I have already tried to no success, because the code =
doesn't have any references to oltr in it)  or even a mknod ?  If so, =
could someone provide me with the parameters for it ?

I appreciate y'all (as they say down here in Texas) shedding some light on =
this for me.  Thanks !
