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.
