I have Linux 1.3.15, the TR card is recognized ( Token-Ring Network
16/4 Adapter - 8bits ISA). It wil open on boot-up and I can Ping my
other PC and I can Ping my Linux PC from the other PC.
When I start a Telnet session I get :
KERNEL Panic : skput : over : 00d72a18 : 4
I'd like to know if there is a solution to this problem because I
would very much like to use my PC on the LAN running Linux.
Thanks,
Hessel.
