Hi
If the green and yellow LEDs are flashing alternately then - IIRC - the card
has not been configured. I can't remember if the 'not configured bit' meant the
PnP part or the ifconfig bit. What does dmesg say? Do you see trX?
The good news is that I did have the card running on 1.4.x when I was on a
token ring network.
