+Text file for the Linux SysKonnect Token Ring ISA/PCI Adapter Driver.
+	Text file by: Jay Schulist <jschlst@turbolinux.com>
+
+The Linux SysKonnect Token Ring driver works with the SysKonnect TR4/16(+) ISA,
+SysKonnect TR4/16(+) PCI, SysKonnect TR4/16 PCI, and older revisions of the
+SK NET TR4/16 ISA card.
+
+Latest information on this driver can be obtained on the Linux-SNA WWW site.
+Please point your browser to: 
+http://www.linux-sna.org
+
+Many thanks to Christoph Goos for his excellent work on this driver and
+SysKonnect for donating the adapters to Linux-SNA for the testing and maintaince
+of this device driver.
+
+Important information to be noted:
+1. Adapters can be slow to open (~20 secs) and close (~5 secs), please be 
+   patient.
+2. This driver works very well when autoprobing for adapters. Why even 
+   think about those nasty io/int/dma settings of modprobe when the driver 
+   will do it all for you!
+
+This driver is rather simple to use. Select Y to Token Ring adapter support
+in the kernel configuration. A choice for SysKonnect Token Ring adapters will
+appear. This drives supports all SysKonnect ISA and PCI adapters. Choose this
+option. I personally recommend compiling the driver as a module (M), but if you
+you would like to compile it staticly answer Y instead.
+
+This driver supports multiple adapters without the need to load multiple copies
+of the driver. You should be able to load up to 7 adapters without any kernel
+modifications, if you are in need of more please contact the maintainer of this
+driver.
+
+Load the driver either by lilo/loadlin or as a module. When a module using the
+following command will suffice for most:
+
+# modprobe sktr
+
+This will produce output similar to the following: (Output is user specific)
+
+sktr.c: v1.01 08/29/97 by Christoph Goos
+tr0: SK NET TR 4/16 PCI found at 0x6100, using IRQ 17.
+tr1: SK NET TR 4/16 PCI found at 0x6200, using IRQ 16.
+tr2: SK NET TR 4/16 ISA found at 0xa20, using IRQ 10 and DMA 5.
+
+Now just setup the device via ifconfig and set and routes you may have. After
+this you are ready to start sending some tokens.
+
+Errata:
+For anyone wondering where to pick up the SysKonnect adapters please browse
+to http://www.syskonnect.com
