Our company is interested in funding someone to add token ring support to
freeBSD.  Anyone know anyone that might be interested?

Thanks,
Larry

The following have announced interest in this topic; some of them have
stated that they've done work in this area (some even claiming to have
a working driver), others were willing to donate equipment.

I suggest you contact them all:

You may also want to contact:

Michael Rendell		<michael@cs.mun.ca>

He has a working NetBEUI implementation for FreeBSD, and the LLC for
token ring is very, very close.  It would be nice if TR, NetBEUI, and
the FDDI stuff already in FreeBSD could share code there.
