       NAME
             configure - map existing networking boards and protocols

       SYNOPSIS
             /etc/confnet.d/configure [-i] [-p protocol -d device [-d device . . .]]
             /etc/confnet.d/configure [-p protocol -d device] [-O "protocol specific opts"]
             /etc/confnet.d/configure [-r -p protocol]
             /etc/confnet.d/configure [-r -d device]
             /etc/confnet.d/configure [-r -p protocol -d device]

       DESCRIPTION
             The generic configure command searches the sub-directories of
             /etc/confnet.d for files named configure and executes them.

          Files
             /etc/confnet.d/netdrivers

       USAGE
             configure sets up mappings between networking boards and
             protocols installed on the system.  If the command is run
             without arguments and both a single networking board and a
             single protocol exist on the system, configure will execute
             the protocol-specific configure found in
             /etc/confnet.d/protocol.

             If multiple boards and/or protocols exist, mail will be sent
             to the owner of the machine to run configure -i.  The device
             is the name of the device in the /dev directory, and the
             protocol is the matching directory name in /etc/confnet.d.

          Options
             The following options are available to the generic configure
             command:

             -i    Set up multiple boards and protocols interactively.
                   This will result in the user being prompted to select
                   the devices to be configured with each protocol.  A
                   complete list of devices available on the machine will
                   be presented for each protocol.  The user will select
                   from the list.  Once the devices have been selected for
                   the protocol, the protocol-specific configure command
                   will be invoked to map the protocol to the selected
                   devices.

            -i -p protocol -d device
                  Interactively map the specified protocol to one or more
                  devices.

            -p protocol -d device -O "protocol specific opts"
                  Maps the specified protocol to the specified device.
                  Only one device can be specified.  The optional -O
                  option passes protocol-specific options that are needed
                  by the protocol-specific configure command.  The
                  suboptions of -O should be enclosed in one set of double
                  quotes.

            -r -p protocol
                  Unconfigures the mapping between the specified protocol
                  and all devices to which the protocol is mapped.

            -r -d device
                  Unconfigures the specified device from all protocols to
                  which the device is mapped.  More than one device can be
                  specified.

            -r -p protocol -d device
                  Removes the mapping between the specified protocol and
                  device.  More than one device can be specified.
