# 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.
