IFSETUP(8)

NAME
ifsetup - configure a device driver

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION
Ifsetup is the program that can be used to dynamically configure network device drivers. It uses the DDI (Device Driver Interface) standard for talking to device drivers, and it will ultimately be replaced by a program that can be used by all sorts of device drivers in the system kernel.

OPTIONS

-v  Tell the user what is going on by being verbose.

io addr
    Set the device driver base I/O address to addr

aux addr
    Set the device driver auxiliary I/O address to addr address, like disk controllers of the IBM-PC family of systems.

irq channel
    Set the IRQ channel to channel

dma channel
    Set the DMA request channel to channel

maddr addr
    Set the memory base address to addr between itself and the computer, like video boards, network devices and such. Note that the addr argument must be in physical address format, not the often used segment:offset notation.
