Windows seven - driver for token ring (IBM High-Speed 100/16/4 Token-Ring PCI Adapter, ...)
I have installed windows seven (nice !) but my LAN-card (IBM High-Speed 100/16/4 Token-Ring PCI Adapter) is not recogniced. I have tried with thepc01trp.exe, which works fine for WindowsVista. (download-link: //ftp.software.ibm.com/networking/ess/public/trcardbus/B5778C8F9B30DA9C85256AE60065E5BC/pc01trp.exe).Does someone have a driver or at least an idea ?

Hi, The latest driver can be downloaded from the following website. IBM High-Speed 100/16/4 Token-Ring PCI Adapter 5.22.3.50 Important Note: Microsoft provides third-party contact information to help you find technical support. This contact information may change without notice. Microsoft does not guarantee the accuracy of this third-party contact information. It is not indicated as Windows Vista compatible, maybe it is a old device. If this driver does not work either, I am afraid that the device will not work in Windows 7 beta.Arthur Xie - MSFT

You can try forcing the device to load using the legacy hardware wizard. However, the fact that this worked in Vista was probably just good fortune as it appears IBM stopped supporting the device 5 years ago. Token ring networks are rare to say the least these days (that made me chuckle, Ventsislav).To try and get it working, run HDWWIZ.EXE, then select 'install hardware manually', then 'show all devices', then 'have disk' (this button may be hard to see due to a bug in Win7 - you may just see part of a button in the lower right). Point it to your extracted IBM driver files, select the NIC, and cross your fingers...Ned Pyle [MSFT] - MS Enterprise Platforms Support - Beta Team
