Olicom Token-Ring 16/4 OC-3118 Network Adapter

OLICOM TR16/4 CARD ?

By 2Pansy - usenet poster


 Currently Linux only supports Token Ring cards based upon the IBM Tropix
chipset
so I would guess that your card will not work (someone will probably follow
on with a
'yes it will' statement soon<g>)

I know that the IBM Auto 16/4 TR works.

If you do find that the Olicom can operate as an IBM card you can try that
but you will probably
loose your promiscuous mode which will make it irrelevant.

Hello Networker

I have found a great token-ring adapter from Olicom typ: oc3118(ISA-PnP)  
and oc3220(PCMCIA).
I have watched into linux and can't found support for this kinda network  
adapter....i must work with this because this brand of adapter supports
promiscuous mode that i need for monitoring/sniffing.
This adapter based on  Texas-Instruments TMS380 family chipset.
Is linux support for this kinda network adapter planed or impossible  
reasoned by copyleft problem of source code ?
