Hi,
i'm currently trying to set up a FreeBSD box (IBM PC 360, Pentium Pro,
128MB, Matrox & Adaptec PCI, no ISA cards)in a TokenRing LAN.
Ok, i'm using the March 2000 FreeBSD 4.0 distribution and it seems to me
that all the necessary sources for Olicom support are there - compiled a
new kernel with support for Olicom NICs:
> # PCI Token-Ring NICs
> device          oltr0           # Olicom OC-3137 and alike
> pseudo-device   token           # TokenRing support
> pseudo-device   ether           # Ethernet support

And now there're these strange error messages during boot:
> May 31 13:21:47 Continuity /kernel: oltr0: <Olicom PCI/II 16/4 Adapter (OC-3137)> port 0xff00-0xff3f
irq 9 at device 10.0 on pci0
> May 31 13:21:47 Continuity /kernel: oltr0: mac address [00:00:00:00:00:00]
> May 31 13:21:47 Continuity /kernel: oltr0: Adapter not supported by low level driver.

I tried a couple of different Olicom NICs - OC-3136 or OC-3137 both
produce this kind of error, while a OC-3140 RapidFire doesn't work at
all - contrary to what the source-comments say!?!

Any ideas?!?
Thanx,

Steffen
