I am looking for a CardBus Token Ring Adaptor that is supported by the
2.4.20 kernel, using Kernel PCMCIA (not external PCMCIA).  If
available, I would like to know the card model number and which driver
supports the card.  The
card should also still be in production.  Thanks!

Have you tried any of the Linux Newsgroups and Forums?
With specific peripherals working under Linux, it seems like only
workarounds with peripherals are posted.

also, have you tried updating the kernel version?

I am using the IBM Turbo 16/4 Token-Ring PC Card 2
http://www.networking.ibm.com/tra/trspec700.html#34L1401 with SuSE
8.1, and the 2.4.19 kernel.  I have also used it with a 2.4.20 kernel.
  This PCMCIA card is supported by the ibmtr_cs.o module which is part
of kernel pcmcia and not external pcmcia.

 

While IBM doesn’t officially support the Linux drivers, the first FAQ
on this page addresses the issue in a reasonable manner:
