I seem to be having a terrible time gettin Linux 1.3.20 to recognize my 
Racore TR Card.  It's a simple ISA card.  When I boot up, it always says 
"tr0: Unable to assign adaptor to device"  then the same for tr1.  And 
yes, I answered yes to the 2 questions in the make config about token 
ring support.  And it is my understanding that 1.3.* have the token ring 
stuff all packed in, right?

So, is there a way I can tell the kernel exactly what my IRQ/Port/DMA are 
via lilo's prompt?

I pickup up a premade kernel from the *.kuleuven.ac.be site, and it is 
able to recognize my card.  Only thing is it is 1.1.64.  So, anyone out 
there have any last suggestions/ideas?

thanx .. and hurry :)
