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.
