# 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
Now copy over all the required files.
% cd $nldevdir
% mkdir -p /lib/mdev
% mkdir -p /etc
% cp mdev/etc/mdev.conf /etc
% cp mdev/lib/* /lib/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.
## udev replacement
Many application directly depend on libudev and so need the
overengineered backends of udev to work. Most of this (like X11)
can be avoided by having symlinks to static devices and leaving
all the automatism in one place instead of many.
Scripts that call the udev tools directly will need to be patched,
like laptop-mode-utils.
