As far as I can tell, the IBM NIC is the only token-ring card that is still sold. The SMC card seems to have been a popular one (at least on our campus). I really like FreeBSD, but does this mean I need to go to some flavor of Linux for Token-Ring support (and if so, which flavor would you suggest)? I really hate the thought of setting up NT on those boxes (which, of course, has drivers).

If the cards are Tokencard Elite (8115T), then no luck. | I also have one new IBM 16/4 PCI Management Adapter. There is no ready to use driver for that card.
