1	Text file for the Linux SysKonnect Token Ring ISA/PCI Adapter Driver.
2		Text file by: Jay Schulist <jschlst@samba.org>
3	
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 statically 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.
48	
49	Errata:
50	For anyone wondering where to pick up the SysKonnect adapters please browse
51	to http://www.syskonnect.com

54	included as an initialized C-array and is licensed by SysKonnect to the Linux
