The cardbus ibm token ring adapter uses the olympic chipset. If you get
one of those then setting it up is a breeze.
It uses the olympic driver, it'll appear as interface tr0 (not eth0 or
eth1), you can configure it the same as a regular ethernet interface,
there are a couple of module parameters that are specific to t/r. Check
out the olympic.txt file in the kernel source Documentation directory.
The particular set up for the interface will be distribution specific. You
*may* have a little fun if you want to use dhcp over the t/r interface.
There are some issues.
Check out http://www.linuxtr.net for more details. The site is a little
out of date, the person who hosts it for me is having trouble with the
server and its an old copy up right now.

I'm a long time linux user bot not very aware of network arcanas.
What is the cardbus token ring adapter, on onboard chip ?

OK, thanks, happy to now be sure it _is_ possible, my eth card
will be a 3c mageahertz ( OK for GNU/Linux ), and I will probably
have choice for token ring card.
Do i only need :
* to have the drivers ( modules ).
* to configure eth0 and eth1 using linuxconf.
* to ifup/ifdown my connections to use them ?
what else ?
