selects the S0/S2M interface named by Driver-Id. Driver-Ids are defined during driver initialisation. See README.eicon for a description of the syntax to be used for modularised and monolithic driver versions. This option must be used to identify the S0/S2M interface if more than one S0/S2M interface is existent. If a single card is used, it may be omitted. If using more than one ISA-Bus-type card, support for the other cards is enabled with the add action of eiconctrl. PCI-Bus-type cards will be automatically added during driver initialisation. Ids may not start with digits or small x, because these values are misinterpreted as numeric parameters by insmod. For loading the module, always the newest modutils package should be used to avoid

when loading the card's module by insmod / modprobe, you need to specify Membase, IRQ and ID. Only the SCOM is also

Loading this card as usual will automatically find and autoload the remaining three cards. Don't forget to set the Membase, IRQ and ID string using insmod or modprobe. Remember to "eiconctrl load <card_n>" for all "four" cards manually with the desired protocol. When setting the ID's last letter to an "a", the remaining ID's will be continued with "b, c, d" ; Otherwise the ID-string will add a "_2 _3 _4" to the cards

All cards are auto detected and autoloaded w/o any parameters at insmod/modprobe. Using more than one card in a system will require the eiconctrl "-d" option to load the futher cards. (f.e eiconctrl -d eicon2) You can also use the -all option to get all boards loaded at one time (divaload only). The ETSI protocol is default and is not needed to be set as parm. Otherwise add the desired protocol to specify. The protocolcodes are normally located

Loading this card will set the protocol to all "4 cards" same style. You cannot load diffrent codes. This is not a bug! The ID's are set while loading -
