Driver Missing for Madge Token Ring Cards
Support knowledgebase (no_madge_TR)
Applies to
SuSE Linux: Versions since 7.0
Kernel: Version 2.0.X, 2.2.X, 2.4.X
Symptom
You have a Madge Token Ring card but there are no drivers present in
the distribution,
although Madge does offer source code drivers for kernels 2.0.X, 2.2.X, and 2.4.X.
Cause
The license for the Madge drivers explicitly forbids redistribution.
Therefore, we are not allowed to offer them as part of our SuSE Linux
distribution.
Solution
The driver source code is available from Madge's web site:
http://www.madge.com/_assets/downloads/software/mtoksrc.tar.gz.
Follow the instructions contained in the package to compile the
drivers.
SuSE does not offer any support for these drivers.
