Acfg utilities for ISA adapters
Automated configuration (acfg)utilities are used
to read and optionally write
the network adapter firmware or hardware
for ISA adapters. only.
Acfg utilities are called by netconfig
and not directly by the user.
Two modes of operation are supported:
search mode-
Find adapters and read their configuration.
The syntax is:
acfg -d output_directory
output_directory is the directory where
the acfg_output_file is written.
set mode-
Write configuration information
to the NVRAM
on a software configurable ISA adapter.
The syntax is:
acfg -f acfg_output_file -k old_key
acfg_output_file is the AOF-like file
that the acfg utility creates
and populates with values for options
to be written to the adapter.
These are in an attribute called SELECT.
old_key is the previous key for this adapter,
typically the I/O address of the adapter.
The NDSP for any driver
that requires the acfg functionality
must include the source for
a driver-specific acfg binary,
located in the acfg subdirectory
to the driver package directory
along with the Makefile for the utility.
See the tok sample driver
from the O5ndsamp package
for acfg source code
that can be copied and modified for your driver.
