The Linux SMC Token Ring driver works with the SMC TokenCard Elite (8115T)
|
| 5 |
|
|
ISA and SMC TokenCard Elite/A (8115T/A) MCA adapters.

Latest information on this driver can be obtained on the Linux-SNA WWW site.

This driver is rather simple to use. Select Y to Token Ring adapter support
|
| 11 |
|
|
in the kernel configuration. A choice for SMC Token Ring adapters will
|
| 12 |
|
|
appear. This drives supports all SMC ISA/MCA adapters. Choose this
|
| 13 |
|
|
option. I personally recommend compiling the driver as a module (M), but if you
|
| 14 |
|
|
you would like to compile it staticly answer Y instead.
|
| 15 |
|
|
|
| 16 |
|
|
This driver supports multiple adapters without the need to load multiple copies
|
| 17 |
|
|
of the driver. You should be able to load up to 7 adapters without any kernel
|
| 18 |
|
|
modifications, if you are in need of more please contact the maintainer of this
|
| 19 |
|
|
driver.
|
| 20 |
|
|
|
| 21 |
|
|
Load the driver either by lilo/loadlin or as a module. When a module using the
|
| 22 |
|
|
following command will suffice for most:
|
| 23 |
|
|
|
| 24 |
|
|
# modprobe smctr
|

smctr.c: v1.00 12/6/99 by jschlst@samba.org
|
| 26 |
|
|
tr0: SMC TokenCard 8115T at Io 0x300, Irq 10, Rom 0xd8000, Ram 0xcc000.
|
| 27 |
|
|
|
| 28 |
|
|
Now just setup the device via ifconfig and set and routes you may have. After
|
| 29 |
|
|
this you are ready to start sending some tokens.

Errata:
|
| 32 |
|
|
1). For anyone wondering where to pick up the SMC adapters please browse
|
| 33 |
|
|
to http://www.smc.com
|
| 34 |
|
|
|
| 35 |
|
|
2). If you are the first/only Token Ring Client on a Token Ring LAN, please
|
| 36 |
|
|
specify the ringspeed with the ringspeed=[4/16] module option. If no
|
| 37 |
|
|
ringspeed is specified the driver will attempt to autodetect the ring
|
| 38 |
|
|
speed and/or if the adapter is the first/only station on the ring take
|
| 39 |
|
|
the appropriate actions.
|
| 40 |
|
|
|
| 41 |
|
|
NOTE: Default ring speed is 16MB UTP.
|
| 42 |
|
|
|
| 43 |
|
|
3). PnP support for this adapter sucks. I recommend hard setting the
|
| 44 |
|
|
IO/MEM/IRQ by the jumpers on the adapter. If this is not possible
|
| 45 |
|
|
load the module with the following io=[ioaddr] mem=[mem_addr]
|
| 46 |
|
|
irq=[irq_num].
|
| 47 |
|
|
|
| 48 |
|
|
The following IRQ, IO, and MEM settings are supported.
