From: Stephen Hemminger <shemminger@osdl.org> Date: Tue, 03 Jun 2003 20:45:21 -0700 There are enough PCI network devices, that something like alloc_pci_etherdev might be a good future idea. What is sos special about PCI? :-) In this light, alloc_device_etherdev() seems much more appropriate. But we can play this game AD_INFINITUM, for each and every paramter that is common across a class of ethernet devices. At what point do you stop? :-) - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
