Token ring is supported and works quite well in FreeBSD.
I am using a couple of card on a box to connect an entire network to the
Internet (about 200 boxes).
I have only a problem, or at least it seems to me a problem :-)
I posted the following message to token-ring and questions mailing lists
and directly to the author of the driver without having received any
answer. So I post it here because I see someone that perhaps can answer
(surely) to this :-)
--- begin old message ---
I have installed a FreeBSD 4.1-STABLE box with two olicom token ring cards.
Everything seems to works fine except for the fact that one of these card
has a lot of errors.

What does this error (error 3) means ? Performance seems not be affected
but it is quite annoying because it fills up every system logs. Is possible
to correct it ? Is it harmless ?

Jul 29 19:36:48 freebsd /kernel: oltr1: ring insert (16 Mbps - TKP)
The interesting thing is that the two cards use different (automatic)
configured setting (TXI, TKP).
Oltr1 never experiences errors so what does it means ? May this be the
problem ? And if yes how I can configure it ? man oltr seems not to exist
anymore in my 4.1-STABLE .
