Howto configure the Linux kernel / drivers / net / tokenring
- Token Ring driver configuration
Token Ring devices[]
- depends on NETDEVICES

- (on/off) Token Ring driver support
- depends on (PCI || ISA || MCA || CCW)
- select LLC
- Token Ring is IBM's way of communication on a local network; the rest of the world uses Ethernet. To participate on a Token Ring network, you need a special Token ring network card. If you are connected to such a Token Ring network and want to use your Token Ring card under Linux, say Y here and to the driver for your particular card below and read the Token-Ring mini-HOWTO, available from <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Most people can say N here.
- Option: IBMTR
- Kernel Versions: 2.6.15.6 ...
- (on/off/module) IBM Tropic chipset based adapter support
- depends on TR && (ISA || MCA)
- This is support for all IBM Token Ring cards that don't use DMA. If you have such a beast, say Y and read the Token-Ring mini-HOWTO, available from <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.

- depends on TR && PCI
- This is support for the 3Com PCI Velocity XL cards, specifically the 3Com 3C359, please note this is not for the 3C339 cards, you should use the tms380 driver instead.
- If you have such an adapter, say Y and read the Token-Ring mini-HOWTO, available from <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
- To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be called 3c359.
- Also read the file <file:Documentation/networking/3c359.txt> or check the Linux Token Ring Project site for the latest information at <http://www.linuxtr.net>
- Option: TMS380TR
- Kernel Versions: 2.6.15.6 ...
- (on/off/module) Generic TMS380 Token Ring ISA/PCI adapter support
- depends on TR && (PCI || ISA && ISA_DMA_API || MCA)
- select FW_LOADER
- This driver provides generic support for token ring adapters based on the Texas Instruments TMS380 series chipsets. This includes the SysKonnect TR4/16(+) ISA (SK-4190), SysKonnect TR4/16(+) PCI (SK-4590), SysKonnect TR4/16 PCI (SK-4591), Compaq 4/16 PCI, Thomas-Conrad TC4048 4/16 PCI, and several Madge adapters. If you say Y here, you will be asked to select which cards to support below. If you're using modules, each class of card will be supported by a separate module.
- If you have such an adapter and would like to use it, say Y and read the Token-Ring mini-HOWTO, available from <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
- Also read the file <file:Documentation/networking/tms380tr.txt> or check <http://www.auk.cx/tms380tr/>.
