   4 The Linux SysKonnect Token Ring driver works with the SysKonnect TR4/16(+) ISA,
   5 SysKonnect TR4/16(+) PCI, SysKonnect TR4/16 PCI, and older revisions of the
   6 SK NET TR4/16 ISA card.

   8 Latest information on this driver can be obtained on the Linux-SNA WWW site.
   9 Please point your browser to:

  12 Many thanks to Christoph Goos for his excellent work on this driver and
  13 SysKonnect for donating the adapters to Linux-SNA for the testing and
  14 maintenance of this device driver.
  15
  16 Important information to be noted:
  17 1. Adapters can be slow to open (~20 secs) and close (~5 secs), please be
  18    patient.
  19 2. 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
  23 This driver is rather simple to use. Select Y to Token Ring adapter support
  24 in the kernel configuration. A choice for SysKonnect Token Ring adapters will
  25 appear. This drives supports all SysKonnect ISA and PCI adapters. Choose this
  26 option. I personally recommend compiling the driver as a module (M), but if you
  27 you would like to compile it staticly answer Y instead.
  28
  29 This driver supports multiple adapters without the need to load multiple copies
  30 of the driver. You should be able to load up to 7 adapters without any kernel
  31 modifications, if you are in need of more please contact the maintainer of this
  32 driver.
  33
  34 Load the driver either by lilo/loadlin or as a module. When a module using the
  35 following command will suffice for most:
  36
  37 # modprobe sktr
  38
  39 This will produce output similar to the following: (Output is user specific)
  40
  41 sktr.c: v1.01 08/29/97 by Christoph Goos
  42 tr0: SK NET TR 4/16 PCI found at 0x6100, using IRQ 17.
  43 tr1: SK NET TR 4/16 PCI found at 0x6200, using IRQ 16.
  44 tr2: SK NET TR 4/16 ISA found at 0xa20, using IRQ 10 and DMA 5.
  45
  46 Now just setup the device via ifconfig and set and routes you may have. After
  47 this you are ready to start sending some tokens.
