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