__setup ( )
struct net_device* alloc_etherdev_mqs ( int  sizeof_priv,
unsigned int  txqs,
unsigned int  rxqs 
)
read

alloc_etherdev_mqs - Allocates and sets up an Ethernet device : Size of additional driver-private structure to be allocated for this Ethernet device : The number of TX queues this device has. : The number of RX queues this device has.

Fill in the fields of the device structure with Ethernet-generic values. Basically does everything except registering the device.

Constructs a new net device, complete with a private data area of size (sizeof_priv). A 32-byte (not bit) alignment is enforced for this private data area.

Definition at line 370 of file eth.c.

int eth_change_mtu ( struct net_device dev,
int  new_mtu 
)

eth_change_mtu - set new MTU size : network device : new Maximum Transfer Unit

Allow changing MTU size. Needs to be overridden for devices supporting jumbo frames.

Definition at line 307 of file eth.c.

int eth_header ( struct sk_buff skb,
struct net_device dev,
unsigned short  type,
const void daddr,
const void saddr,
unsigned int  len 
)

eth_header - create the Ethernet header : buffer to alter : source device : Ethernet type field : destination address (NULL leave destination address) : source address (NULL use device source address) : packet length (<= skb->len)

Set the protocol type. For a packet of type ETH_P_802_3/2 we put the length in here instead.

Definition at line 78 of file eth.c.

int eth_header_cache ( const struct neighbour neigh,
struct hh_cache hh,
__be16  type 
)

eth_header_cache - fill cache entry from neighbour : source neighbour : destination cache entry : Ethernet type field

Create an Ethernet header template from the neighbour.

Definition at line 238 of file eth.c.

void eth_header_cache_update ( struct hh_cache hh,
const struct net_device dev,
const unsigned char haddr 
)

eth_header_cache_update - update cache entry : destination cache entry : network device : new hardware address

Called by Address Resolution module to notify changes in address.

Definition at line 265 of file eth.c.

int eth_header_parse ( const struct sk_buff skb,
unsigned char haddr 
)

eth_header_parse - extract hardware address from packet : packet to extract header from : destination buffer

Definition at line 222 of file eth.c.

int eth_mac_addr ( struct net_device dev,
void p 
)

eth_mac_addr - set new Ethernet hardware address : network device : socket address

Change hardware address of device.

This doesn't change hardware matching, so needs to be overridden for most real devices.

Definition at line 284 of file eth.c.

int eth_rebuild_header ( struct sk_buff skb)

eth_rebuild_header- rebuild the Ethernet MAC header. : socket buffer to update

This is called after an ARP or IPV6 ndisc it's resolution on this sk_buff. We now let protocol (ARP) fill in the other fields.

This routine CANNOT use cached dst->neigh! Really, it is used only when dst->neigh is wrong.

Definition at line 125 of file eth.c.

__be16 eth_type_trans ( struct sk_buff skb,
struct net_device dev 
)

eth_type_trans - determine the packet's protocol ID. : received socket data : receiving network device

The rule here is that we assume 802.3 if the type field is short enough to be a length. This is normal practice and works for any 'now in use' protocol.

Definition at line 157 of file eth.c.

int eth_validate_addr ( struct net_device dev)

Definition at line 316 of file eth.c.

void ether_setup ( struct net_device dev)

ether_setup - setup Ethernet network device : network device

Fill in the fields of the device structure with Ethernet-generic values.

Definition at line 339 of file eth.c.
