       NAME
             netdrivers - data file for networking boards to protocols
             mappings

       SYNOPSIS
             /etc/confnet.d/netdrivers

       DESCRIPTION
             The netdrivers file contains a list of hardware devices
             installed on the system and the protocols mapped to each
             board.

       USAGE
             The format of the file is:

                   <device><whitespace><protocol>

             where <device> is the name of the device in /dev and
             <protocol> is a string matching the directory name in
             /etc/confnet.d where the configure script for the protocol can
             be found.

             Multiple lines will exist for any board that is being used for
             multiple protocols.

             Lines starting with ``#'' will be ignored.

             Manipulation of the netdrivers file should be via the netinfo
             command.
