i haven't been testing token ring recently, but i notied that with .97,
on a p133 router/firewall with a ne2k, a 3c509 and an ibm 16/4 tr adapter,
that the kernel panics quite badly (sometimes) when the ibmtr module
is removed. it doesn't happen all the time, but usually happens if
the mod is removed before the adapter is successfully initialized (ie.
if say the adapter isn't plugged into a mau), but has happened on other
occasions once or twice too.
sorry i don't have a kernel dump, but i'll endevour to get one if someone
thinks it will help. if someone is trying to track tr problems down
and wants more info or some help testing, give me a shout.
cheers, jonathan
