(Message inbox:1243) Date: Fri, 30 Jan 1998 05:32:00 PST To: storner@olicom.dk From: storner@olicom.dk Subject: Olicom Linux Token-Ring driver released Return-Path: storner@olicom.dk Delivery-Date: Fri Jan 30 09:24:44 1998 Return-Path: X-Global-Processed: /etc/procmailrc mailhost Fri Jan 30 09:24:44 EST 1998 part text/plain 832 Press to show content... The Olicom Linux Token-Ring driver supporting OC-3118 (ISA), OC-3136 (PCI) and OC-3137 (PCI/II), was released earlier today. Patches against the stock kernel source for Linux 2.0.33 and Linux 2.1.78 are available on the Olicom ftp server at ftp://ftp.olicom.dk/pub/releases/Unix-Driver/Linux/ Precompiled driver modules are not available, as this it not technically possible. You will therefore need to recompile the Linux kernel yourself, to use the Olicom driver. However, precompiled Linux 2.0.33 kernel images are available for RedHat 4.2, RedHat 5.0 and other systems. If you are installing a new RedHat 4.2 or 5.0 system, customized installa- tion disks are available from the Olicom ftp server, which have the driver included. Thanks You for your interest in Olicom products. Regards, Henrik Storner Olicom A/S
