Hi everyone, thanks in advance for taking a look at this and helping me come up to speed on FBSD ... 

I have a OC-3139 in my Dell Deskpro 133, 64MB memory, am running FBSD 4.1 Release, have built a new kernel which finds the card on boot with
  
    "oltr0: adapter self-test complete (status=0)"

So far, so good.  

BUT,  afterwards, however, I get the following message repeatedy interrupting whatever I am doing - 
  
    "oltr0: ring insert   (4Mbps - TPK)"

Am I correct in assuming the card has not inserted itself into the network ? (me, the master of the obvious ...)

I know the card is not broken because it will attach to the network when I boot from a DOS disk and load ODI drivers to attach to our Novell IPX network.

Do I need to enable IPX protocol ?

If I ping the gateway, I get 
    
    "TRlldTransmitFrame returned 1" and 
    "ping: sendto: host is down" 

which doesn't suprise me, considering.

Do I need to create a new kernel with some of the LINT options, i.e. 
    
    OLTR_NO_BULLSEYE_MAC
    OLTR_NO_HAWKEYE_MAC 
    OLTR_NO_TMS_MAC  ?

Also, as a side issue, what are these specifying and under what circumstances would one need to use them ?


Thanks again for the help , I need it.
