I talked to Olicom a year ago about writing a FreeBSD token driver for their PCI token ring card, since my employer at the time was stuck with a lot of legacy dinosaur equipment. The response I got was that driver writers' documentation was trade secret and they had absolutely no intention of telling anyone how their superlative token ring card works. After that, all nodes added to the LAN were ether. We had that luxury, since cabling was CAT-5 and the main router had both types of interface. :) Hal
