1 | Text File for the SMC TokenCard TokenRing Linux driver (smctr.c). | ||
2 | By Jay Schulist <jschlst@samba.org> | ||
3 | |||
4 | The Linux SMC Token Ring driver works with the SMC TokenCard Elite (8115T) | ||
5 | ISA and SMC TokenCard Elite/A (8115T/A) MCA adapters. | ||
6 | |||
7 | Latest information on this driver can be obtained on the Linux-SNA WWW site. | ||
8 | Please point your browser to: http://www.linux-sna.org | ||
9 | |||
10 | This driver is rather simple to use. Select Y to Token Ring adapter support | ||
11 | in the kernel configuration. A choice for SMC Token Ring adapters will | ||
12 | appear. This drives supports all SMC ISA/MCA adapters. Choose this | ||
13 | option. I personally recommend compiling the driver as a module (M), but if you | ||
14 | you would like to compile it staticly answer Y instead. | ||
15 | |||
16 | This driver supports multiple adapters without the need to load multiple copies | ||
17 | of the driver. You should be able to load up to 7 adapters without any kernel | ||
18 | modifications, if you are in need of more please contact the maintainer of this | ||
19 | driver. | ||
20 | |||
21 | Load the driver either by lilo/loadlin or as a module. When a module using the | ||
22 | following command will suffice for most: | ||
23 | |||
24 | # modprobe smctr | ||
25 | smctr.c: v1.00 12/6/99 by jschlst@samba.org | ||
26 | tr0: SMC TokenCard 8115T at Io 0x300, Irq 10, Rom 0xd8000, Ram 0xcc000. | ||
27 | |||
28 | Now just setup the device via ifconfig and set and routes you may have. After | ||
29 | this you are ready to start sending some tokens. | ||
30 | |||
31 | Errata: | ||
32 | 1). For anyone wondering where to pick up the SMC adapters please browse | ||
33 | to http://www.smc.com | ||
34 | |||
35 | 2). If you are the first/only Token Ring Client on a Token Ring LAN, please | ||
36 | specify the ringspeed with the ringspeed=[4/16] module option. If no | ||
37 | ringspeed is specified the driver will attempt to autodetect the ring | ||
38 | speed and/or if the adapter is the first/only station on the ring take | ||
39 | the appropriate actions. | ||
40 | |||
41 | NOTE: Default ring speed is 16MB UTP. | ||
42 | |||
43 | 3). PnP support for this adapter sucks. I recommend hard setting the | ||
44 | IO/MEM/IRQ by the jumpers on the adapter. If this is not possible | ||
45 | load the module with the following io=[ioaddr] mem=[mem_addr] | ||
46 | irq=[irq_num]. | ||
47 | |||
48 | The following IRQ, IO, and MEM settings are supported. | ||
49 | |||
50 | IO ports: | ||
51 | 0x200, 0x220, 0x240, 0x260, 0x280, 0x2A0, 0x2C0, 0x2E0, 0x300, | ||
52 | 0x320, 0x340, 0x360, 0x380. | ||
53 | |||
54 | IRQs: | ||
55 | 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 | ||
56 | |||
57 | Memory addresses: | ||
58 | 0xA0000, 0xA4000, 0xA8000, 0xAC000, 0xB0000, 0xB4000, | ||
59 | 0xB8000, 0xBC000, 0xC0000, 0xC4000, 0xC8000, 0xCC000, | ||
60 | 0xD0000, 0xD4000, 0xD8000, 0xDC000, 0xE0000, 0xE4000, | ||
61 | 0xE8000, 0xEC000, 0xF0000, 0xF4000, 0xF8000, 0xFC000 | ||
