Hi *, If I want to assign an IP address to an ethernet interface (say eth0) in a kernel module, can I directly call one of these functions defined in net/ipv4/devinet.c inet_ioctl(SIOCSIFADDR, (struct ifreq*)ifq) or devinet_ioctl(SIOCSIFADDR, (struct ifreq*)ifq) ? Or is there any other way I can do this ?
