System 7.5 Update 2.0: Removes MacTCP Token Ring Ext. (4/96)

I have a Macintosh computer running TCP/IP on a Token Ring network. I recently installed System 7.5 Update 2.0, but now I am unable to select Token Ring in the MacTCP control panel. What's going on?
During the installation of System 7.5 Update 2.0, the MacTCP Token Ring extension is removed. However, the extension is necessary to run TCP/IP protocol over a Token Ring network from a Nubus-based Macintosh computer. To resolve this, you'll need to reinstall the MacTCP Token Ring extension. If you do not have the disks from which you originally got the MacTCP Token Ring extension, you can download it from the online services.
