No.

Someone with a token ring network, cards, and documentation
needs to take the FDDI driver's LLC code and convert it.

Basically, no one uses Token Ring, so no one has written drivers.

If I were still in Ogden, Ut, I'd write a driver -- the networking
lab at WSU is *very* well equipped.  But I'm not.
