PCI Token-Ring Device Drivers
The Token-Ring device drivers that are listed in this section are dynamically loadable. The device driver is automatically loaded into the system at device configuration time as part of the configuration process.
- PCI Token-Ring High PerformanceDevice Driver (14101800)
- PCI Token-Ring Device Driver (14103e00)
The interface to the device is through the
kernel services known as Network Services. Interfacing to
the device driver is achieved by calling the device driver's entry
points to perform the following actions:
- Opening the device
- Closing the device
- Transmitting data
- Issuing device control commands
The PCI Token-Ring High Performance Device Driver (14101800) interfaces with the PCI Token-Ring High-Performance Network Adapter (14101800). The adapter is IEEE 802.5 compatible and supports both 4 and 16 Mbps networks. The adapter supports only an RJ-45 connection.
The PCI Token-Ring Device Driver (14103e00) interfaces with the PCI Token-Ring Network Adapter (14103e00). The adapter is IEEE 802.5 compatible and supports both 4 and 16 Mbps networks. The adapter supports both an RJ-45 and a 9 Pin connection.
