1 | Text File for the SMC TokenCard TokenRing Linux driver (smctr.c). |
2 | By Jay Schulist <jschlst@samba.org> | |
3 | ||
4 | The Linux SMC Token Ring driver works with the SMC TokenCard Elite (8115T) | |
5 | ISA and SMC TokenCard Elite/A (8115T/A) MCA adapters. | |
6 | ||
7 | Latest information on this driver can be obtained on the Linux-SNA WWW site. | |
8 | Please point your browser to: http://www.linux-sna.org | |
9 | ||
10 | This driver is rather simple to use. Select Y to Token Ring adapter support | |
11 | in the kernel configuration. A choice for SMC Token Ring adapters will | |
12 | appear. This drives supports all SMC ISA/MCA adapters. Choose this | |
13 | option. I personally recommend compiling the driver as a module (M), but if you | |
14 | you would like to compile it staticly answer Y instead. | |
15 | ||
16 | This driver supports multiple adapters without the need to load multiple copies | |
17 | of the driver. You should be able to load up to 7 adapters without any kernel | |
18 | modifications, if you are in need of more please contact the maintainer of this | |
19 | driver. | |
20 | ||
21 | Load the driver either by lilo/loadlin or as a module. When a module using the | |
22 | following command will suffice for most: | |
23 | ||
24 | # modprobe smctr | |
25 | smctr.c: v1.00 12/6/99 by jschlst@samba.org | |
26 | tr0: SMC TokenCard 8115T at Io 0x300, Irq 10, Rom 0xd8000, Ram 0xcc000. | |
27 | ||
28 | Now just setup the device via ifconfig and set and routes you may have. After | |
29 | this you are ready to start sending some tokens. | |
30 | ||
31 | Errata: | |
32 | 1). For anyone wondering where to pick up the SMC adapters please browse | |
33 | to http://www.smc.com | |
34 | ||
35 | 2). If you are the first/only Token Ring Client on a Token Ring LAN, please | |
36 | specify the ringspeed with the ringspeed=[4/16] module option. If no | |
37 | ringspeed is specified the driver will attempt to autodetect the ring | |
38 | speed and/or if the adapter is the first/only station on the ring take | |
39 | the appropriate actions. | |
40 | ||
41 | NOTE: Default ring speed is 16MB UTP. | |
42 | ||
43 | 3). PnP support for this adapter sucks. I recommend hard setting the | |
44 | IO/MEM/IRQ by the jumpers on the adapter. If this is not possible | |
45 | load the module with the following io=[ioaddr] mem=[mem_addr] | |
46 | irq=[irq_num]. | |
47 | ||
48 | The following IRQ, IO, and MEM settings are supported. | |
49 | ||
50 | IO ports: | |
51 | 0x200, 0x220, 0x240, 0x260, 0x280, 0x2A0, 0x2C0, 0x2E0, 0x300, | |
52 | 0x320, 0x340, 0x360, 0x380. | |
53 | ||
54 | IRQs: | |
55 | 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 | |
56 | ||
57 | Memory addresses: | |
58 | 0xA0000, 0xA4000, 0xA8000, 0xAC000, 0xB0000, 0xB4000, | |
59 | 0xB8000, 0xBC000, 0xC0000, 0xC4000, 0xC8000, 0xCC000, | |
60 | 0xD0000, 0xD4000, 0xD8000, 0xDC000, 0xE0000, 0xE4000, | |
61 | 0xE8000, 0xEC000, 0xF0000, 0xF4000, 0xF8000, 0xFC000 | |
