A short word here - IBM-branded PCI token ring
adapters work
out-of-the-box in Linux, with the olympic driver.
Not what I found. "IBM
Branded" could mean one of several different
families, and only certain models of certain families are supported. In
addition, I found some adapters that were supported at one time, but are
certainly not supported on more current releases (the drivers certainly
wouldn't compile as is, and needed a severe amount of handwork to bring
them up to date). Not to mention token ring support in more recent linux
kernels has been all but dropped, the token ring project hasn't been
updated in ages... etc. (2003?).
