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. COPYRIGHT Kernel Hackers Manual 2.6.
