Subject2.2.0-pre1/Token-Ring/IPX = bad
DateThu, 31 Dec 1998 11:56:40 -0600 (CST)
From"Gilbert Ramirez Jr." <>
I am in the processing of trying to gather more info, esp. against
2.2.0-pre2, but with 2.2.0-pre1 my Linux box swamped our local network with
traffic.

I run Token-Ring, with the Olicom TR driver. I also use IPX. My ncpfs tools
are a 2.2.0.7

Once I attempt an 'slist' with this kernel, the Linux box keeps sending NCP
packets to my nearest file server. I sent > 80K packets in 5 seconds.
Since I have so many variables (ncpfs, Linux 2.2.0-pre1, token-ring, and
oltr) I am trying to narrow down my search in finding the bug. But if
anyone that has a slightly similar set up would try the same thing (run
'slist' and sniff your network to watch packets), I'd appreciate it. Is
this a token-ring problem? an oltr problem? an ipx/ncpfs problem? I don't
know yet.
