HI, I am writing one Dummy Net Driver and registering my interface as Port0 and Port1. through ifconfig command i am able too see the my interfaces listed. In Driver's Open method i am assigning Some hard ware address which i can see once i do the ifconfig. Once i do the ifconfig port0 x.y.z.w the hardware address and Ip address are also listed. I don't want to do manually ifconfig port0 x.y.z.w I want my driver to assign Ip address also. So how this can be achieved. I don't have any actual device .
