/usr/local/pnic/0

 

are then renamed and copied to /usr/local/

 

 

pnic/firmware. When selecting firmware, the

 

 

.bit files are symbolically linked to the

 

 

corresponding renamed files in the firmware

 

 

directory.

 

 

 

 

pnic_*.mapping

Generated after compiling static rules. They

/usr/local/pnic/0

 

are then renamed and copied to /usr/local/

 

 

pnic/firmware. When selecting firmware, the

 

 

.mapping files are symbolically linked to the

 

 

corresponding renamed files in the firmware

 

 

directory.

 

 

 

 

<firmware_filename>.bit

Firmware files for Channel 0 and Channel 1.

/usr/local/pnic/firmware/

 

They are the renamed .bit files that were

<firmware_filename>

 

generated after compiling static rules. When

 

 

selecting firmware, these are the files to

 

 

which the .bit files in /usr/local/pnic/0 are

 

 

symbolically linked.

 

 

 

 

<firmware_filename>.mapping

Firmware files for Channel 0 and Channel 1.

/usr/local/pic/firmware/

 

They are the renamed .mapping files that

<firmware_filename>

 

were generated after compiling static rules.

 

 

When selecting firmware, these are the files

 

 

to which the .mapping files in /usr/local/pnic/

 

 

0 are symbolically linked.

 

 

 

 

pnic_*.bin

Contain compiled dynamic rules for Channel

/usr/local/pnic/0

 

0 and Channel 1.

 

 

 

 

pnic_*.custmapping

Contain the capture/forward policies for each

/usr/local/pnic/0

 

rule on Channel 0 and Channel 1.
