Michel,

	To get this working, you'll need to find a Token Ring card that is
supported under FreeBSD 4.11.  If such an animal exists, you can build your
own version of Monowall which includes the proper driver for a supported
Token Ring card.  I don't know if any are included in the generic Monowall
install.

	Um, no, Token Ring is not incompatible with TCP/IP...  TR is
physical layer, 
like Ethernet, and TCP/IP is protocol layer.   In fact, everything on the TR

segment is TCP/IP connected.   
	
	That having been said, is there a way to get M0n0wall to recognize a
Token 
Ring card?  Thanks.
