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.
