Very Computer

I want to connect a Linux box to an IBM Token Ring LAN and have seen
postings regarding the Token Ring driver. However, I have not been
able to find a patch for Linux to support IBM Token Ring cards.

I found a file on a sunsite mirror which was related to Token Rings,
but it was a whole source tree! This is not what I need as I don't
have enough space to put an extra source tree on my hard drive.

Can anyone tell me where I can find a Token Ring patch please.
Preferably on an FTP site as I don't have access to the web.

By the way, I've already tried 'linux3.kuleuven.cc....' but it does
not allow FTP!

Thanks

Those are supported with the latest versions of the kernel, except for
one specific card (which I don't remember...).
As a matter of fact, this post will go through my IBM Token Ring II
card, and I'm running a typical 1.3.77 kernel, with no patch needed.
You just have to select the Token Ring driver and the IBM Tropic chipset
in your config before compiling the kernel.
There IS also a patch for older versions, but I can't remember if/where
you can find them...

Hope this helps,
