bpqparms - Configure BPQ ethernet devices.
Contents
Description
Bpqparms allows the setting of the BPQ Ethernet options for a particular device. Each BPQ Ethernet device
appears as a device named bpq0...bpqN which overlays the original Ethernet device, usually eth0...ethN.
This device is an AX.25 device driver and allows AX.25 frames to be transmitted over an Ethernet to
another machine using the same protocol. The default for the device is to send and receive BPQ Ethernet
packets to the broadcast address. This program replaces the previous “axparms -dev” option.
