Hi,
I am writing a pseudo-network device driver which does not need to do any
probing of hardware.
I looked at Space.c and came across the following for the Ethertap driver:
---------------------------
#ifdef CONFIG_ETHERTAP
static struct device tap0_dev = { "tap0", 0, 0, 0, 0, NETLINK_TAPBASE,
0, 0, 0, 0, NEXT_DEV, ethertap_probe, };
# undef NEXT_DEV
# define NEXT_DEV (&tap0_dev)
#endif
----------------------------
Does this mean that merely compiling-in the Ethertap driver will
COMPULSORILY create 'tap0'?
What if I just wanted to initialize some variables for my driver which
would be later loaded as modules. What would i put into Space.c in that
case?
Regards,
Amit
