1 | Text file for the Linux SysKonnect Token Ring ISA/PCI Adapter Driver. |

4 | The Linux SysKonnect Token Ring driver works with the SysKonnect TR4/16(+) ISA, | |
5 | SysKonnect TR4/16(+) PCI, SysKonnect TR4/16 PCI, and older revisions of the | |
6 | SK NET TR4/16 ISA card. | |
7 | ||
8 | Latest information on this driver can be obtained on the Linux-SNA WWW site. | |
9 | Please point your browser to: | |
10 | http://www.linux-sna.org | |
11 | ||
12 | Many thanks to Christoph Goos for his excellent work on this driver and | |
13 | SysKonnect for donating the adapters to Linux-SNA for the testing and | |
14 | maintenance of this device driver. | |
15 | ||
16 | Important information to be noted: | |
17 | 1. Adapters can be slow to open (~20 secs) and close (~5 secs), please be | |
18 | patient. | |
19 | 2. This driver works very well when autoprobing for adapters. Why even | |
20 | think about those nasty io/int/dma settings of modprobe when the driver | |
21 | will do it all for you! | |
22 | ||
23 | This driver is rather simple to use. Select Y to Token Ring adapter support | |
24 | in the kernel configuration. A choice for SysKonnect Token Ring adapters will | |
25 | appear. This drives supports all SysKonnect ISA and PCI adapters. Choose this | |
26 | option. I personally recommend compiling the driver as a module (M), but if you | |
27 | you would like to compile it staticly answer Y instead. | |
28 | ||
29 | This driver supports multiple adapters without the need to load multiple copies | |
30 | of the driver. You should be able to load up to 7 adapters without any kernel | |
31 | modifications, if you are in need of more please contact the maintainer of this | |
32 | driver. | |
33 | ||
34 | Load the driver either by lilo/loadlin or as a module. When a module using the | |
35 | following command will suffice for most: | |
36 | ||
37 | # modprobe sktr | |
38 | ||
39 | This will produce output similar to the following: (Output is user specific) | |
40 | ||
41 | sktr.c: v1.01 08/29/97 by Christoph Goos | |
42 | tr0: SK NET TR 4/16 PCI found at 0x6100, using IRQ 17. | |
43 | tr1: SK NET TR 4/16 PCI found at 0x6200, using IRQ 16. | |
44 | tr2: SK NET TR 4/16 ISA found at 0xa20, using IRQ 10 and DMA 5. | |
45 | ||
46 | Now just setup the device via ifconfig and set and routes you may have. After | |
47 | this you are ready to start sending some tokens. | |
