Select Y to Token Ring adapter support +in the kernel configuration. A choice for SMC Token Ring adapters will +appear. This drives supports all SMC ISA/MCA adapters. Choose this +option. I personally recommend compiling the driver as a module (M), but if you +you would like to compile it staticly answer Y instead. + +This driver supports multiple adapters without the need to load multiple copies +of the driver. You should be able to load up to 7 adapters without any kernel +modifications, if you are in need of more please contact the maintainer of this +driver. + +Load the driver either by lilo/loadlin or as a module. When a module using the +following command will suffice for most: + +# modprobe smctr +smctr.c: v1.00 12/6/99 by jschlst@samba.org +tr0: SMC TokenCard 8115T at Io 0x300, Irq 10, Rom 0xd8000, Ram 0xcc000. + +Now just setup the device via ifconfig and set and routes you may have. After +this you are ready to start sending some tokens. + +Errata: +1). For anyone wondering where to pick up the SMC adapters please browse + to http://www.smc.com + +2). If you are the first/only Token Ring Client on a Token Ring LAN, please + specify the ringspeed with the ringspeed=[4/16] module option. If no + ringspeed is specified the driver will attempt to autodetect the ring + speed and/or if the adapter is the first/only station on the ring take + the appropriate actions. + + NOTE: Default ring speed is 16MB UTP. + +3). PnP support for this adapter sucks. I recommend hard setting the + IO/MEM/IRQ by the jumpers on the adapter. If this is not possible + load the module with the following io=[ioaddr] mem=[mem_addr] + irq=[irq_num]. + + The following IRQ, IO, and MEM settings are supported. + + IO ports: + 0x200, 0x220, 0x240, 0x260, 0x280, 0x2A0, 0x2C0, 0x2E0, 0x300, + 0x320, 0x340, 0x360, 0x380. + + IRQs: + 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 + + Memory addresses: + 0xA0000, 0xA4000, 0xA8000, 0xAC000, 0xB0000, 0xB4000, + 0xB8000, 0xBC000, 0xC0000, 0xC4000, 0xC8000, 0xCC000, + 0xD0000, 0xD4000, 0xD8000, 0xDC000, 0xE0000, 0xE4000, + 0xE8000, 0xEC000, 0xF0000, 0xF4000, 0xF8000, 0xFC000 + +This driver is under the GNU General Public License.
