Token Ring driver support
CONFIG_TR
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.
IBM Tropic chipset based adapter support
CONFIG_IBMTR
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>.
Warning: this driver will almost definitely fail if more than one
active Token Ring card is present.
This driver is also available as a module ( = code which can be
inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want).
The module will be called ibmtr.o. If you want to compile it as a
module, say M here and read <file:Documentation/modules.txt>.
IBM Olympic chipset PCI adapter support
CONFIG_IBMOL
This is support for all non-Lanstreamer IBM PCI Token Ring Cards.
Specifically this is all IBM PCI, PCI Wake On Lan, PCI II, PCI II
Wake On Lan, and PCI 100/16/4 adapters.
If you have such an adapter, say Y and read the Token-Ring
mini-HOWTO, available from <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
This driver is also available as a module ( = code which can be
inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want).
The module will be called olympic.o. If you want to compile it
as a module, say M here and read <file:Documentation/modules.txt>.
Also read <file:Documentation/networking/olympic.txt> or check the
Linux Token Ring Project site for the latest information at
<http://www.linuxtr.net/>.
IBM Lanstreamer chipset PCI adapter support
CONFIG_IBMLS
This is support for IBM Lanstreamer PCI Token Ring Cards.
If you have such an adapter, say Y and read the Token-Ring
mini-HOWTO, available from <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.
This driver is also available as a modules ( = code which can be
inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want).
The modules will be called lanstreamer.o. If you want to compile it
as a module, say M here and read <file:Documentation/modules.txt>.
Generic TMS380 Token Ring ISA/PCI/MCA/EISA adapter support
CONFIG_TMS380TR
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/>.
This driver is also available as a module ( = code which can be
inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want).
The module will be called tms380tr.o. If you want to compile it
as a module, say M here and read <file:Documentation/modules.txt>.
Generic TMS380 PCI support
CONFIG_TMSPCI
This tms380 module supports generic TMS380-based PCI cards.
These cards are known to work:
- Compaq 4/16 TR PCI
- SysKonnect TR4/16 PCI (SK-4590/SK-4591)
- Thomas-Conrad TC4048 PCI 4/16
- 3Com Token Link Velocity
This driver is available as a module ( = code which can be
inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want).
The module will be called tmspci.o. If you want to compile it
as a module, say M here and read <file:Documentation/modules.txt>.
Generic TMS380 ISA support
CONFIG_TMSISA
This tms380 module supports generic TMS380-based ISA cards.
These cards are known to work:
- SysKonnect TR4/16 ISA (SK-4190)
This driver is available as a module ( = code which can be
inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want).
The module will be called tmsisa.o. If you want to compile it
as a module, say M here and read <file:Documentation/modules.txt>.
Madge Smart 16/4 PCI Mk2 support
CONFIG_ABYSS
This tms380 module supports the Madge Smart 16/4 PCI Mk2
cards (51-02).
This driver is available as a module ( = code which can be
inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want).
The module will be called abyss.o. If you want to compile it
as a module, say M here and read <file:Documentation/modules.txt>.
SMC ISA/MCA Token Ring adapter support
CONFIG_SMCTR
This is support for the ISA and MCA SMC Token Ring cards,
specifically SMC TokenCard Elite (8115T) and SMC TokenCard Elite/A
(8115T/A) adapters.
If you have such an adapter and would like to use it, say Y or M and
read the Token-Ring mini-HOWTO, available from
<http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto> and the file
<file:Documentation/networking/smctr.txt>.
This driver is also available as a module ( = code which can be
inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want).
The module will be called smctr.o. If you want to compile it

CONFIG_3C359
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>.
This driver is also available as a module ( = code which can be
