4The Linux SysKonnect Token Ring driver works with the SysKonnect TR4/16(+) ISA,
5SysKonnect TR4/16(+) PCI, SysKonnect TR4/16 PCI, and older revisions of the
6SK NET TR4/16 ISA card.
7
8Latest information on this driver can be obtained on the Linux-SNA WWW site.
9Please point your browser to:
10http://www.linux-sna.org

12Many thanks to Christoph Goos for his excellent work on this driver and
13SysKonnect for donating the adapters to Linux-SNA for the testing and
14maintenance of this device driver.
15
16Important information to be noted:
171. Adapters can be slow to open (~20 secs) and close (~5 secs), please be
18 patient.
192. 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
23This driver is rather simple to use. Select Y to Token Ring adapter support
24in the kernel configuration. A choice for SysKonnect Token Ring adapters will
25appear. This drives supports all SysKonnect ISA and PCI adapters. Choose this
26option. I personally recommend compiling the driver as a module (M), but if you
Matt LaPlante53cb4722006-10-03 22:55:17 +020027you would like to compile it statically answer Y instead.

29This driver supports multiple adapters without the need to load multiple copies
30of the driver. You should be able to load up to 7 adapters without any kernel
31modifications, if you are in need of more please contact the maintainer of this
32driver.
33
34Load the driver either by lilo/loadlin or as a module. When a module using the
35following command will suffice for most:
36
37# modprobe sktr
38
39This will produce output similar to the following: (Output is user specific)
40
41sktr.c: v1.01 08/29/97 by Christoph Goos
42tr0: SK NET TR 4/16 PCI found at 0x6100, using IRQ 17.
43tr1: SK NET TR 4/16 PCI found at 0x6200, using IRQ 16.
44tr2: SK NET TR 4/16 ISA found at 0xa20, using IRQ 10 and DMA 5.
45
46Now just setup the device via ifconfig and set and routes you may have. After
47this you are ready to start sending some tokens.
