NAME

       comedi_config - COMEDI configuration utility

SYNOPSIS

       comedi_config [-vVq] /dev/comediN <driver> [<option1>[,<option2>...]]

DESCRIPTION

       comedi_config  is  used to configure comedi drivers.  You must have comedi support compiled into your kernel or loaded as a separate module
       in order to use this utility.  Each control and measurement device is associated with a particular comedi device file /dev/comediN, where N
       is 0,1,2,3, etc.  Comedi_config allows you to associate a particular driver and device with a comedi device file, and also configure driver
       parameters for the particular device.

       Comedi_config can be used with optional parameters which are driver dependent.  Parameters are specified by comma-delimited list  of  inte-
       gers.  The integers may be expressed as decimal, hexidecimal (starting with 0x) or octal (stating with 0).  In addition, a parameter may be
       left blank, indicating 0.  PCI-based devices typically require no parameters, although some allow you to specify the bus and  slot  of  the
       card  to  configure  as	the  first  two  parameters.  ISA-based devices typically use the first and second parameters to indicate I/O base
       address and interrupt level.

       More information about the parameters required by individual drivers can be found in the comedi documentation, in the file drivers.txt.

OPTIONS

       comedi_config recognizes the following options:

       -q, --quiet    don't print output while running.

       -v, --verbose  print verbose output while running.

       -V, --version  print version number and exit.

       -r, --remove   remove previously configured driver.

       --read-buffer num
	      set read buffer size to num kilobytes.  The default size is 64k.

       --write-buffer num
	      set write buffer size to num kilobytes.  The default size is 64k.

       -i, --init-data, --init-data0 file
	      upload initialization data (typically firmware) from file to board.

       --init-data1 file

       --init-data2 file

       --init-data3 file
	      Some drivers require more than one file for initialization data.	Use these options to specify additional initialization data files.
	      See the driver-specific documentation for further details.

CONFIGURATION FILE

       [This section has not been implemented yet.]

       A list of device configurations can be put into the file /etc/comedi.conf.  This file takes the form

	    <device> <driver> <param1>,<param2>,...

       These  configurations  will  be	read and performed when the switch -a is used.	This is potentially useful when run from an initialization
       script.

EXAMPLES

       A National Instruments PCI-MIO E series board can be configured to use /dev/comedi0 using the command:

	    comedi_config /dev/comedi0 ni_pcimio

       A National Instruments AT-MIO E series board can be configured to use /dev/comedi3 using the command:

	    comedi_config /dev/comedi3 ni_atmio 0x220,3

       This tells the driver that the board is configured for I/O base 0x220 and IRQ 3.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

       Additional text documentation can be found in /usr/share/doc/libcomedi-dev.  The current version of Comedi and Comedilib  can  be  obtained
       from ftp://ftp.comedi.org/pub/comedi.  The Comedi web site is located at http://www.comedi.org/comedi.

NAME

     an -- Aironet Communications 4500/4800 wireless network adapter driver

SYNOPSIS

     To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file:

	   device an
	   device wlan

     Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):

	   if_an_load="YES"

DESCRIPTION

     The an driver provides support for Aironet Communications 4500 and 4800 wireless network adapters and variants, including the following:

	   o   Aironet Communications 4500 and 4800 series
	   o   Cisco Aironet 340 and 350 series
	   o   Xircom Wireless Ethernet Adapter

     Support for these devices include the ISA, PCI and PCMCIA varieties.  The Aironet 4500 series adapters operate at 1 and 2Mbps while the
     Aironet 4800 series and Cisco adapters can operate at 1, 2, 5.5 and 11Mbps.  The ISA, PCI and PCMCIA devices are all based on the same core
     PCMCIA modules and all have the same programming interface, however unlike the Lucent WaveLAN/IEEE cards, the ISA and PCI cards appear to the
     host as normal ISA and PCI devices and do not require any PCCARD support.

     The PCMCIA Aironet cards require PC Card support, including the kernel pccard(4) driver.  ISA cards can either be configured to use ISA Plug
     and Play or to use a particular I/O address and IRQ by properly setting the DIP switches on the board.  (The default switch setting is for
     Plug and Play.)  The an driver has Plug and Play support and will work in either configuration, however when using a hard-wired I/O address
     and IRQ, the driver configuration and the NIC's switch settings must agree.  PCI cards require no switch settings of any kind and will be
     automatically probed and attached.

     All host/device interaction with the Aironet cards is via programmed I/O.	The Aironet devices support 802.11 and 802.3 frames, power manage-
     ment, BSS (infrastructure) and IBSS (ad-hoc) operation modes.  The an driver encapsulates all IP and ARP traffic as 802.11 frames, however it
     can receive either 802.11 or 802.3 frames.  Transmit speed is selectable between 1Mbps, 2Mbps, 5.5Mbps, 11Mbps or "auto" (the NIC automati-
     cally chooses the best speed).

     By default, the an driver configures the Aironet card for infrastructure operation.

     For more information on configuring this device, see ifconfig(8).

DIAGNOSTICS

     an%d: init failed	The Aironet card failed to become ready after an initialization command was issued.

     an%d: failed to allocate %d bytes on NIC  The driver was unable to allocate memory for transmit frames in the NIC's on-board RAM.

     an%d: device timeout  The Aironet card failed to generate an interrupt to acknowledge a transmit command.
