Hi everyone I need to develop a Kernel module which should create net devices dynamically. There would be an user space program from which the user would give the name of the interface and this information will be sent to the kernel module using IOCTLs and the device should get created. The problem here is that for IOCTLs to work itself, a device needs to be created first with which IOCTLs would be used. The Linux bridge code does this by having a separate IOCTL handler which is very specific to bridge. I need something like this but at the same time, i don't want to change the Linux Kernel code nor re use the bridge code It would be really helpful if someone could give me some suggestions on this .
