Hello, our whole network is still on token ring and we got a helluva lot of linux boxems running with madge cards and they all work 100 %. We have MKII's the old Blue+'s and i''ve got a PCI 2000 in my boxie. Works brilliantly wif txpdump. Got to say i had a bit of trouble getting the first one to work, but after that all went smooth. You should go check the token ring mail-group maybe someone there can help ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) o and if you're running the the redhat 7.1 kernel (think its 2.4.2/4) forget about getting a madge to work. I'm running 2.4.9.
