INIT_DUMMY_NETDEV(9) Network device support INIT_DUMMY_NETDEV(9)NAMEinit_dummy_netdev - init a dummy network device for NAPI
SYNOPSIS
int init_dummy_netdev(struct net_device * dev);
ARGUMENTS
dev
device to init
DESCRIPTION
This takes a network device structure and initialize the minimum amount
of fields so it can be used to schedule NAPI polls without registering
a full blown interface. This is to be used by drivers that need to tie
several hardware interfaces to a single NAPI poll scheduler due to HW
limitations.
