lan_set_attribute(9r)
NAME
  lan_set_attribute - Network: Sets a Hardware Management attribute to the
  specified value

SYNOPSIS
  void lan_set_attribute(
	  void **attr_tbl,
	  int index,
	  void *new_value );

ARGUMENTS
  attr_tbl
      The address of one of the attribute tables (either current_val or
      default_val) found in a net_hw_mgmt data structure.

  index
      The index in the attributes table to update. The indices are listed in
      io/dec/netif/lan_common.h and can be any of the following values:


	       NET_NAME_NDX    /* Name string attribute */
	       NET_CAT_NDX     /* Category string attribute */
	       NET_SUBCAT_NDX  /* Sub-category string attribute */
	       NET_MODEL_NDX   /* Model Name string attribute */
	       NET_HWREV_NDX   /* Hardware Revision string attribute */
	       NET_FWREV_NDX   /* Firmware Revision string attribute */
	       NET_MAC_NDX     /* MAC Address string attribute */
	       NET_MTU_NDX     /* Maximum Frame Size integer attribute */
	       NET_SPEED_NDX   /* Megabits Per Second integer attribute */
	       NET_METHOD_NDX  /* Media Selection Method string attribute */
	       NET_MEDIA_NDX   /* Media Type string attribute */
	       NET_LOOP_NDX    /* Loopback integer attribute */
	       NET_PROMISC_NDX /* Promiscuous Mode integer attribute */
	       NET_FDX_NDX     /* Full Duplex Status integer attribute */
	       NET_MCLIST_NDX  /* Multicast Address List string attribute */
	       NET_IFNDX_NDX   /* Ifnet Index integer attribute */

  new_value
      The new value for the attribute (either the address of a character
      string for string attributes, or the actual value for integer
      attributes).

DESCRIPTION
  The lan_set_attribute() routine updates the indicated attribute in the
  specified attribute table with the new value indicated.





NOTES
  The value passed in for integer attributes is not treated as the address of
  the attribute; rather, it is treated as the value of the attribute. The
  value passed in for string attributes must be the address of a buffer
  containing a text string.

CAUTIONS
  This routine can only be called after lan_ehm_init() has been called to
  initialize the attribute tables found in the net_hw_mgmt data structure.

EXAMPLE
  Following is an example of using lan_set_attribute():

	       struct net_hw_mgmt ehm;

	       lan_ehm_init (&ehm, NET_EHM_VERSION_ID);
	       lan_set_attribute (ehm.current_val, NET_MODEL_NDX, "3C509");
	       lan_set_attribute (ehm.current_val, NET_SPEED_NDX, 10);

RETURN VALUES
  None
