NAME

       bpqparms - Configure BPQ ethernet devices.

SYNOPSIS

       bpqparms device [-a ethaddr] [-d ethaddr] [-vV]

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.

OPTIONS

       -a ethaddr     Allows the setting of which ethernet address will be accepted by the BPQ Ethernet device.

       -d ethaddr     If specified on its own, will set the  destination  ethernet  address  will  be  used  for
                      transmitting  and for receiving of BPQ ethernet packets. An address of “broadcast” sets it
                      to the ethernet broadcast address.

       -v             Displays the version number.

       -V             The original version messages.
