The card I have is labeled "IBM Turbo 16/4 Token-Ring PC Card 2".
(see http://www.networking.ibm.com/tra/trspec700.html#34L1401 )
It is NOT a CardBus card.

How do I find out which chipset is inside, without destroying the 
card? (Do I have to install _Linux_ to figure that out?)

Hmm, according to document no. FQ3387E on IBM's networking 
support site (http://www.networking.ibm.com/support/), this card 
has a Tropic chip set. They reference the Linux TokenRing Project, 
http://www.linuxtr.net/ . Does this help?

The card (and the ThinkPad X20) I use are my employers, so I can't 
damage it. Also, the only place I have access to Token Ring are at 
work. But, I would very much like to have this working, it would be 
sooo nice to run FreeBSD at work instead of Linux...
