+# NetLink DEVice manager

+## Installation
+
+ # edit config.mk according to your needs
+ % make
+ % make PREFIX=/ MANPREFIX=/usr/share/man install
+
+## nldev + mdev
+
+For getting nldev and mdev to work use the following instructions.
+
+ % cd /tmp
+ % git clone git://busybox.net/busybox.git
+ % cd busybox
+ % make
+ % cp busybox /bin
+ % cd /bin
+ % ln -s busybox mdev
+
+In you init scripts you will need to trigger:
+
+ % run_nldev &
+ % nltrigger all
+
+### CAUTION
+
+Because of the asynchronous initialisation of every device that
+needs some firmware or some that just take some time to appear
+in the kernel, don't assume interfaces to be there after startup.
+Always add some step to check for the devices to be there or do
+them per service.
