Hi,

There is a new version of the token ring support for linux available. This new
version adds support for the IBM AUTO TR boards. Thanks to Yoshinori Tahara,
Henry Garrett and Erik Salander) I haven't had any chance to test this,
however. There are also some fixes to source routing. Source routing seems to
work for most people know. Thanks to Issam Chebab and Farzad Farid. I still
don't know if I will be able to continue the development, because our
computing center has decided to claim the room we now work in for other
purposes and they are unwilling to consider reasonable alternatives we could
move to.

The driver still only works with IBM boards. 
It is available from 
ftp://linux3.cc.kuleuven.ac.be/pub/Linux/TokenRing/TokenRing.patch-1.1.94.gz
and from ftp://ftp.cs.kuleuven.ac.be/pub/unix/linux/TokenRing.patch-1.1.94.gz.

Peter.
