Olicom Linux Token-Ring driver for OC-3118 and OC-3137 Adapters
===============================================================

Olicom is pleased to announce the release of a Linux Driver for
Olicom's high performance Token-Ring Adapters OC-3118 and OC-3137. 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. Support.
