Ethernet Problems

[Paul Marsh]

I'm experiencing major problems getting our ethernet running in the following
configuration.  We have a VAX 11/785, running ULTRIX 3.1.  The dmz and dmf0
are DEC dm{f,z}'s, while dmf1 through dmf14 are on an ABLE Computer Inc. dmf
emulation board.  If I configure the kernel with only 11 ABLE dmf emulation
modules, the ethernet works without a hitch.  Once the twelveth module is added,
I get 5 "dmfdbint" messages on reload, immediately following the string "DECNET
started", and prior to the string saying the circuit is up.  We recently
upgraded from ULTRIX 1.2, but we didn't have an ethernet controller on this
machine at that time, so I don't know if the problem pre-existed.  Any insight
on this would be greatly appreciated.
