Usage
=====
- Load module:
    modprobe flame [debuglevel=]  [flm_topo_timer=]
      : debug level, default: 1
      : topology check timer (in seconds), default: 5
- Open/close a device with:
    echo "up   []" > /proc/net/flame/cmd
    echo "down " > /proc/net/flame/cmd
      : name of FLAME device, e.g. flm0
      : comma-separated list of MAC devices (at least one) that are
      used below the FLAME device. All of these must be up.
    : comma-separated list of MAC addresses of devices
      for which traffic should be ignored; each MAC address should
      be a semicolon-separated list of 6 hex-pairs
- Get current forwarding info from FLAME:
    cat /proc/net/flame/fwd
- Get nodes/cost information from MACINFO:
    cat /proc/net/macinfo


Use of /proc for an API is no longer desirable. Please rewrite.

hmm, ok, I'm not sure this will happen anytime soon (being a rather low priority thing, which is also the reason it's not submitted as patch to the kernel and not signed off), but what is currently the desirable method?

Cheers

PS, I'm replying for my colleague, who will see this Monday at the earliest ;-)
