I have created a patch that adds support to the IBM token-ring
driver for multiple adapters. "Multiple" in this case means two
adapters. I also generalized and enhanced the kernel network
device code WRT token-ring to allow up to eight devices and to
facilitate the addition of new token-ring drivers as they become
available.

Two patches, one relative to the 2.0.25 kernel and the other
relative to the 2.1.14 kernel, are available at:

ftp.cts.com/users/crash/p/pnorton/

ibmtr.multiple.adapter.patch.v2.0.25.gz
ibmtr.multiple.adapter.patch.v2.1.14.gz

Unless there are any objections I am also volunteering as
maintainer for the IBM token-ring driver. Please send any bug
reports, comments, or suggestions regarding the driver or the
patch to pnorton@cts.com.
