I've asked this before (probably about 6 months or so ago) and the
answer was negative.  Hoping (with crossed fingers) that the situation
has changed (although neither the 386bsd or Linux FAQ mentions it) I'm
asking again now.

Is there Token Ring support in either 386bsd/Netbsd or Linux?  I'd
switch in an instant (well, after backing up my hard disk) to either one
if it has support.  It sucks that while this campus is big on ethernet,
neither dorm I've lived in here has ethernet - only Token Ring.  And
nothing supports Token Ring (well, I've found about 3 programs outside
the CMU-developed software and the stuff that comes with the PC/TCP
package that supports it).

Please post your response.
