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. 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 >> 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 !
