Joel Soete appeared to actively use a PCI one with recent kernels back in 2007.

I saw people using TR adapters with Linux as of 2008/9. That doesn't mean it's common or make it desirable to keep TR in the current kernel tree though. Is VG/AnyLAN different? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

I'll leave token ring PCI drivers where they are for now. > Is VG/AnyLAN different? Your own word: "unused". I see nothing wrong asking users if they still care. If no one cares about the hp100, fine.
Hello Joe, et al, Effectively, I was using a hp100 but this system is retired since 2 years now (but I keep it just in case of major failure of the new box). Cheers, J.

I believe it has PCI variants and I have that somewhere. Please don't kill it.
