For a general FDDI ring, SMT is required. SMT is the station management
layer with allows for the station to come into the ring, know up-stream
and down-stream neighbors, know slot time and maintain a mib on pertenent
data.

It is more complex than a simple ETHERNET driver, which the FDDI hardware
requires as well.

So on that note, are there any publicly available source implementations
of the SMT level of FDDI interface code....
