Sorry, but I don't have the time to work on it. I think I'll buy some cards that are well supported. Which would be the best token ring cards (PCI or ISA) to use for FreeBSD 4.9 and 5.1? -Adam __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Protect your identity with Yahoo!

Interesting -- that's the first time I've heard "token ring" and "production" used in the same context in a couple of years :) I didn't mean to suggest it wsn't solid. I've been using it continuously for a year or so. The only real issues with it are: it can't be compiled without PCI support also, and it's only known to work with the OC-3118 in PnP mode. I would be willing to fix these issues if anyone is interested in it. I offered about a year ago on the list and no one took me up on it, and it works as well as I need to the way it is, so it's stayed that way. > I think I'll buy some cards that are well supported. > Which would be the best token ring cards (PCI or ISA) > to use for FreeBSD 4.9 and 5.1? I'm not sure you could say any cards are "well supported". The Olicom PCI cards are, I beleive, the only cards supported in standard kernel sources. I have used the OC-3137 for a couple of years. The driver is a bit overzealous in logging soft ring errors like insertion of other nodes, but is basically reliable. I have "tweaked" the driver myself to inhibit some of the logging. You should see Matthew Dodd's page at http://www.jurai.net/~winter/tr/ for more details on drivers. He has several in various stages of being "in the works."

Details here: http://www.madole.net/olicom/ This is for -STABLE but I will probably later update for -CURRENT as well. The driver seems to be every bit as solid as before, but I welcome testing and feedback. I will probably continue to work on these a bit more to clean up a few other things. David Madole
