-This is version 029 of the new AX.25 and NET/ROM code for Linux. It
-incorporates many enhancements since the last release, notably the rewriting
-of the connected mode IP code and the IP over NET/ROM code. The opportunity
-has been taken to add the G8BPQ NET/ROM extensions and to add BPQ Ethernet
-support. The latter has been much eased by the use of the new variable
-length header code by Alan Cox.
-
-To use the BPQ Ethernet option, first up the ethernet interface in the usual
-manner, the IP address of the interface is not that important but it will
-be required for the ARP table. Next create an ARP entry in the ARP table of
-type ax25 for the interface binding it to an AX.25 callsign, this callsign
-will be the callsign of that interface. By default BPQ Ethernet uses a
-multi-cast address, this implementation does not, instead the standard
-ethernet broadcast address is used. Therefore the NET.CFG file for the
-ODI driver should look similar to this:

-LINK SUPPORT
-
-	MAX STACKS 1
-	MAX BOARDS 1
-
-LINK DRIVER E2000			; or other MLID to suit your card
-
-	INT 10				;
-	PORT 300			; to suit your card
-
-	FRAME ETHERNET_II
-
-	PROTOCOL BPQ 8FF ETHERNET_II	; required for BPQ - can change PID
-
-BPQPARMS				; optional - only needed if you want
-					; to override the default target addr
-
-	ETH_ADDR  FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF	; Target address

-The above configuration assumes that only BPQ Ethernet is being used.
-
-It is not possible to run IP over AX.25 on the BPQ Ethernet port. To simply
-route IP frames to (say) eth0 would create standard ethernet IP frames and
-completely bypass the AX.25 code. However it is possible to use IP over
-NET/ROM across a BPQ Ethernet link, the performance of such a system is
-very acceptable indeed.
