The driver is also compatible with the older OC-3136 adapter. The combination of Olicom's Token-Ring adapters and new Linux drivers provide superior performance in a Linux Token-Ring environment. Driver features =============== * Fully integrated with standard Linux networking * Includes Olicom's top-performing PowerMACH drivers * Provides full-duplex operation (simultaneous send and receive) when connected to an IEEE 802.5r-compliant Token-Ring switch * Supports promiscuous mode operation The driver supports the following Olicom Token-Ring adapters: * OC-3118 ISA 16/4 * OC-3137 PCI/II 16/4 * OC-3136 PCI 16/4 More details about these adapters are available from the Olicom WWW sites at http://www.olicom.dk/ (Europe) or http://www.olicom.com/ (US). Linux compatibility =================== The driver has been tested with the (currently) latest version of the 2.0 kernel, 2.0.33. It will probably work with any 2.0 kernel, i.e. all of the kernels used by the Linux distributions, but this has not been tested and can not be guaranteed. For the current development versions of Linux 2.1 the driver has been tested with version 2.1.78. Changes to the development kernel are occurring in rapid pace and compatibility can not be guaranteed. Availability ============ The Olicom Linux driver is available from Olicom's WEB site http://www.olicom.dk/ (Europe) or http://www.olicom.com/ (US). Pre-compiled kernels with the driver builtin - based on Linux 2.0.33 - for RedHat 4.2, RedHat 5.0 and other systems using the Linux 2.0.x kernel, are available from ftp://ftp.olicom.dk/pub/releases/Unix-Driver/Linux/unsupported/ Support ======= Support for the driver is provided by Olicom's Tech.
