I'm working on a few other things as a prelude to doing Token Ring
support.  (I'm also waiting on SMC to get me the SDK for their TokenElite
product.)

There are a few other prople who have expressed an interest and have
actually got some code but until the 802.2/802.5 code is written just
having device drivers won't do us much.

Feel free to jump in or come back and ask again in 6 months.
