Subject: Fix for 6152 lobe fault problem IBM/4.3
Index: sys/ca_atr/if_lan.c IBM/4.3
Description:
If a lobe fault condition occurs (eg. disconnection), the
adapter is not opened properly. This leaves the network
unreachable until Unix is rebooted.
Fix:
This patch fixes the lobe fault problem.
First apply patch V1.11, if you have not already done so.
Then apply the following patch to the Unix token-ring driver.
