Simulated driver for Network Interface Adapter
Hi all, I got sort of a task to do. I have to write in C "simulated network driver". What does it mean?
- It has to run on all network adapters
- It has to be as simple as it can be
- It has to run on all linux distributions (or at least most of them)
- It does not have to run a network service or any network-connected things
- after ifconfig up - it has to run a task - whatever (e.g. show some text, or light a 'caps lock' diode, or something else)
I have never written drivers on linux, but I'm very good at C programming.
Could you give me some hints how to do that?


Regards.

systemd-networkd.service

SYSTEMD-NETWORKD.SERVICE(8)				     systemd-networkd.service				       SYSTEMD-NETWORKD.SERVICE(8)

NAME

       systemd-networkd.service, systemd-networkd - Network manager

SYNOPSIS

       systemd-networkd.service

       /lib/systemd/systemd-networkd

DESCRIPTION

       systemd-networkd is a system service that manages networks. It detects and configures network devices as they appear, as well as creating
       virtual network devices.

       To configure low-level link settings independently of networks, see systemd.link(5).

       systemd-networkd will create network devices based on the configuration in systemd.netdev(5) files, respecting the [Match] sections in
       those files.

       systemd-networkd will manage network addresses and routes for any link for which it finds a .network file with an appropriate [Match]
       section, see systemd.network(5). For those links, it will flush existing network addresses and routes when bringing up the device. Any
       links not matched by one of the .network files will be ignored. It is also possible to explicitly tell systemd-networkd to ignore a link by
       using Unmanaged=yes option, see systemd.network(5).

       When systemd-networkd exits, it generally leaves existing network devices and configuration intact. This makes it possible to transition
       from the initrams and to restart the service without breaking connectivity. This also means that when configuration is updated and
       systemd-networkd is restarted, netdev interfaces for which configuration was removed will not be dropped, and may need to be cleaned up
       manually.

CONFIGURATION FILES

       The configuration files are read from the files located in the system network directory /lib/systemd/network, the volatile runtime network
       directory /run/systemd/network and the local administration network directory /etc/systemd/network.

       Networks are configured in .network files, see systemd.network(5), and virtual network devices are configured in .netdev files, see
       systemd.netdev(5).
