 * Token Ring is IBM's way of communication on a local network; the rest of the world uses Ethernet. To participate on a Token Ring network, you need a special Token ring network card. If you are connected to such a Token Ring network and want to use your Token Ring card under Linux, say Y here and to the driver for your particular card below and read the Token-Ring mini-HOWTO, available from . Most people can say N here.


 * Option: IBMTR
 * Kernel Versions: 2.6.15.6 ...
 * (on/off/module) IBM Tropic chipset based adapter support
 * depends on TR && (ISA || MCA)
 * This is support for all IBM Token Ring cards that don't use DMA. If you have such a beast, say Y and read the Token-Ring mini-HOWTO, available from .
 * Warning: this driver will almost definitely fail if more than one active Token Ring card is present.
 * To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be called ibmtr.


 * Option: IBMOL

 * To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be called olympic.
 * Also read  or check the Linux Token Ring Project site for the latest information at .


 * Option: IBMLS
 * Kernel Versions: 2.6.15.6 ...
 * (on/off/module) IBM Lanstreamer chipset PCI adapter support
 * depends on TR && PCI && !64BIT
 * This is support for IBM Lanstreamer PCI Token Ring Cards.
 * If you have such an adapter, say Y and read the Token-Ring mini-HOWTO, available from .

 * depends on TR && PCI
 * This is support for the 3Com PCI Velocity XL cards, specifically the 3Com 3C359, please note this is not for the 3C339 cards, you should use the tms380 driver instead.
 * If you have such an adapter, say Y and read the Token-Ring mini-HOWTO, available from .
 * To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be called 3c359.
 * Also read the file  or check the Linux Token Ring Project site for the latest information at 


 * Option: TMS380TR
 * Kernel Versions: 2.6.15.6 ...
 * (on/off/module) Generic TMS380 Token Ring ISA/PCI adapter support
 * depends on TR && (PCI || ISA && ISA_DMA_API || MCA)
 * select FW_LOADER
 * This driver provides generic support for token ring adapters based on the Texas Instruments TMS380 series chipsets. This includes the SysKonnect TR4/16(+) ISA (SK-4190), SysKonnect TR4/16(+) PCI (SK-4590), SysKonnect TR4/16 PCI (SK-4591), Compaq 4/16 PCI, Thomas-Conrad TC4048 4/16 PCI, and several Madge adapters.  If you say Y here, you will be asked to select which cards to support below.  If you're using modules, each class of card will be supported by a separate module.
 * If you have such an adapter and would like to use it, say Y and read the Token-Ring mini-HOWTO, available from .
 * Also read the file  or check .
 * To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be called tms380tr.


 * Option: TMSPCI
 * Kernel Versions: 2.6.15.6 ...
 * (on/off/module) Generic TMS380 PCI support
 * depends on TR && TMS380TR && PCI
 * This tms380 module supports generic TMS380-based PCI cards.
 * These cards are known to work: - Compaq 4/16 TR PCI - SysKonnect TR4/16 PCI (SK-4590/SK-4591) - Thomas-Conrad TC4048 PCI 4/16 - 3Com Token Link Velocity
 * To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module will be called tmspci.


 * Option: SKISA
 * Kernel Versions: 2.6.15.6 ...
 * (on/off/module) SysKonnect TR4/16 ISA support
 * depends on TR && TMS380TR && ISA
 * This tms380 module supports SysKonnect TR4/16 ISA cards.
 * These cards are known to work: - SysKonnect TR4/16 ISA (SK-4190)
