     Supported cards include the following IBM and 3Com models:

	   IBM	 Token-Ring Network PC Adapter

	   IBM	 Token-Ring Network PC Adapter II

	   IBM	 Token-Ring Network Adapter/A

	   IBM	 Token-Ring Network 16/4 Adapter

	   IBM	 Token-Ring Network 16/4 Adapter/A

	   IBM	 Token-Ring 16/4 Credit Card Adapter

	   IBM	 Token Ring Auto 16/4 Credit Card Adapter

	   IBM	 Turbo 16/4 Token Ring PC Card

	   IBM	 16/4 ISA Adapter

	   IBM	 Auto 16/4 Token-Ring ISA Adapter

	   IBM	 Token Ring 16/4 Credit Card Adapter

	   IBM	 Token Ring Auto 16/4 Credit Card Adapter

	   IBM	 Turbo 16/4 Token Ring PC Card

	   3Com  3C619 TokenLink

	   3Com  3C319 TokenLink Velocity

	   3Com  3C389 TokenLink Velocity PC Card

SOURCE ROUTING

     Setting IFF_LINK0 enables Token-Ring source routing.  Setting IFF_LINK1 uses all-routes broadcasts otherwise single-route broadcasts are
     used.

NOTES

     The MCA attachment has been only tested on IBM Token Ring 16/4 Adapter/A so far.  It doesn't support ifmedia(4) yet, too.

HISTORY

     The tr driver appeared in NetBSD 1.4.

BUGS

     The PCMCIA attachment does not work with the cbb(4) CardBus driver.
