Token Ring Interface Requirements
TokenPeek for Windows works with most NDIS3 or higher compatible interfaces
that support promiscuous calls. TokenPeek uses its own software to
bind to Token Ring cards and does not depend on vendor-supplied software
drivers. Below are representative lists of PC Card (PCMCIA) adapters
and NIC cards for desktop machines that support NDIS3 drivers and
promiscuous calls.

Token Ring PCI Adapter |
IBM PCI adapters support promiscuous mode (they do not use the
"Tropic" chipset).
To get MAC frames uncheck the "copy only non-MAC frames in promiscuous
mode" check box in "Advanced Properties" for the adapter in the
"Network Control Panel". |

Smart 100/16/4 PCI Ringnode (51-05) |
For promiscuous capture, must enable "promiscuous mode support" (or "Statistics Gathering mode") in the adapter properties and reboot.

Notes:
- Token
Ring cards based on the "Tropic" chip set will not support promiscuous
mode. This includes the 3Com "Token-Link" series.
- Any
supported card will also report errors as TokenPeek counts errors
from MAC "Report Soft Error" and "Report Active Monitor Error" frames.
- TokenPeek
for Windows is not compatible with the Novell Odinsup driver.
