The linux-tr mailing list exists for the discussion of problems
or concerns about token ring support in linux.
To subscribe e-mail majordomo@linuxtr.net with the body of

Madge have released their new drivers for Linux.
These have been tested with 2.0.36 and 2.2.5.
The driver is available in two formats, binary only and source with
hardware library.
The best way to locate the driver is to go to Madges site (www.madge.com)
and search for Linux
Instructions on how to get this working with other 2.2.x kernels can be found on the Docs page.
Patch for the 2.4.x kernels is available on the Downloads page.
UPDATE:
Madge have just released new 2.41 drivers for their adapters. Check out
the Madge web site for more details, or download the source tar ball from the downloads page.
|
| All other Madge cards |
Some of the other Madge cards are based on the tms380tr chipset and therefore may well work
with the tms380tr driver in kernels 2.3.26 and laterr,.
with the execption of the Blue cards which are compatible with the IBM tropic card, so try the ibmtr driver.
