REGISTER_NETDEV(9)					      Network device support						REGISTER_NETDEV(9)

NAME

       register_netdev - register a network device

SYNOPSIS

       int register_netdev(struct net_device * dev);

ARGUMENTS

       dev
	   device to register

DESCRIPTION

       Take a completed network device structure and add it to the kernel interfaces. A NETDEV_REGISTER message is sent to the netdev notifier
       chain. 0 is returned on success. A negative errno code is returned on a failure to set up the device, or if the name is a duplicate.

       This is a wrapper around register_netdevice that takes the rtnl semaphore and expands the device name if you passed a format string to
       alloc_netdev.

DESCRIPTION

	This family of probe points is used to probe the activities of the network device.

       netdev.receive
	      Data received from network device.

	       See probe::netdev.receive(3stap)
	       for details.

       netdev.transmit
	      Network device transmitting buffer

	       See probe::netdev.transmit(3stap)
	       for details.

       netdev.change_mtu
	      Called when the netdev MTU is changed

	       See probe::netdev.change_mtu(3stap)
	       for details.

       netdev.open
	      Called when the device is opened

	       See probe::netdev.open(3stap)
	       for details.

       netdev.close
	      Called when the device is closed

	       See probe::netdev.close(3stap)
	       for details.

       netdev.hard_transmit
	      Called when the devices is going to TX (hard)

	       See probe::netdev.hard_transmit(3stap)
	       for details.

       netdev.rx
	      Called when the device is going to receive a packet

	       See probe::netdev.rx(3stap)
	       for details.

       netdev.change_rx_flag
	      Called when the device RX flag will be changed

	       See probe::netdev.change_rx_flag(3stap)
	       for details.

       netdev.set_promiscuity
	      Called when the device enters/leaves promiscuity

	       See probe::netdev.set_promiscuity(3stap)
	       for details.

       netdev.ioctl
	      Called when the device suffers an IOCTL

	       See probe::netdev.ioctl(3stap)
	       for details.

       netdev.register
	      Called when the device is registered

	       See probe::netdev.register(3stap)
	       for details.

       netdev.unregister
	      Called when the device is being unregistered

	       See probe::netdev.unregister(3stap)
	       for details.

       netdev.get_stats
	      Called when someone asks the device statistics

	       See probe::netdev.get_stats(3stap)
	       for details.

       netdev.change_mac
	      Called when the netdev_name has the MAC changed

	       See probe::netdev.change_mac(3stap)
	       for details.
