We've been waiting a long time for some token ring person to do the
driver. :-)

The big problem is that token ring is so rare, even if you could find
10 individuals capable of writing a driver for a Madge or IBM token
ring card you'll probably also find that none of them had any access
to a token ring network.  It's the people with motivated self-interest
who are going to end up doing it or not at all. :-)
