The oltr driver uses objects and microcode from Olicom's
OC-3300 PowerMACH Works Kit.
As the Linux driver says..
==================================================================
*
* This driver uses the Token Ring Low Level Driver (TRlld,
* PowerMach Works) as the lower level driver. The PMW kit is
* (C) Olicom. The executable object may be distributed along
* with this driver for the purpose of linking this driver.
*
=================================================================
The low level driver is combined with a FreeBSD specific driver
supplied in source, which provides all OS dependent functions.
files from olicom are:
trlld.o - Olicom low-level driver interface
trlldmac.o - TMS 380 Microcode for Olicom TMS380 based cards
trlldbm.o - "bullseye" Microcode for Olicom "bullseye" based cards
trlldhm.o - "hawkeye" Microcode for Olicom "hawkeye" based cards
The file trlld.o is stored in uuencode format as trlld.o.uu
It represents a state machine of some kind that has no OS dependencies
and communicates with the firmware on the cards via a proprietary interface.
All communication with this module is achieved via functions supplied in
the FreeBSD specific driver.
The other 3 files have been encoded using file2c(1)
and represent only microcode to be loaded into the appropriate board
when found.
Here is the release notice from Olicom regarding these files:
