by I am having trouble in getting Debian 1.2 installed mainly
because of a PCMCIA TokenRing and/or TCP problem ... any help ??
I am in dire need of getting my PCMCIA Token Ring working.
With Slackware I had no problems ... with Debian I cannot make it alone
...
Thank you very much for any help. Reply offline if possible to

760CD has PCMCIA Token Ring and Floppy OR CD (no Dock or ext FDD encl.)
Installed from the 6 floppies.
Installed pcmcia-cs and modules from floppy.
Upon startup :
Card services PCIC probe
.... various rows on Socket 0 where my modem is
Initializing Socket 1
IBM TR Adapter
tr0 port 0xa20 irq 5 mmio 0x2000 sram 0xd4000
hwaddr = 08005AA6FF85
/etc/pcmcia/network start tr0
tr0 : Adapter initialized and opened
after boot has ended, I login as root :
netstat -i shows only lo
so I give a : ifconfig tr0 up 9.87.248.54 netmask 255.255.252.0
now ifconfig shows both lo and tr0
tr0 Link encap 16/4 Mbps TR HW Addr 08.00.54.A6.FF.85
net addresses and masks all correct
UP BROADCAST RUNNING
RX:498 all other 0
Interrupt 5 Base addr 0xa20
my netstat -r shows a route only for lo
route add 0 9.87.248.1 fails with
SIOCADDRT: No such device
Can anybody understand what is wrong ??? All rest of my debian packages
await on a nearby RISC/6000 |||
BTW Where do I properly customize the network parameters in Debian 1.2
??
Thank you again for any help. Bob
