NAME
       ibmtr_cs - IBM Token Ring PCMCIA device driver

SYNOPSIS
       insmod  ibmtr_cs.o [pc_debug=n] [mmiobase=n] [srambase=n] [ringspeed=n]
       [irq_list=i,j,...]

DESCRIPTION
       ibmtr_cs is the low-level Card Services driver for the IBM  Token  Ring
       network  adapter  and  a  few  very similar cards.  When this driver is
       attached to a card, it allocates the next available token  ring  inter-
       face  (tr0..tr#).   This device name will be reported in the kernel log
       file, and passed on to cardmgr(8).

       Due to awkward design of the kernel ibmtr  driver,  the  shared  packet
       memory  for these cards must be mapped to a memory address below 1MB or
       0x100000.  The PCMCIA software will attempt to do  this  automatically,
       but  the automatic algorithm may choose values that conflict with other
       system devices, so a manual override with the srambase parameter may be
       required.  The memory-mapped IO window generally will not be a problem.

PARAMETERS
       pc_debug=n
              Selects the PCMCIA debugging  level.   This  parameter  is  only
              available  if  the module is compiled with debugging enabled.  A
              non-zero value enables debugging.

       mmiobase=n
              Specifies a fixed address for the card's memory mapped  IO  win-
              dow.  The default is to select any available memory window.

       srambase=n
              Specifies  a  fixed address for the card's shared packet memory.
              The default is to select any available window below 1MB.

       ringspeed=n
              Selects the network speed, in mb/sec.  Valid values are 4 or 16,
              and the default is 16.
