Why did you switch again? - For network configuration we found current Netlink interface to be sufficient. - Initially we tried to implement network configuration using BSG as we needed all network parameters in one short from application to driver in vendor specific format. Now we are doing same using Netlink interface and TLV mechanism (vendor agnostic format) which is scalable easily for any new network parameter. - We still need the BSG interface, which we are working on our side, to get the adapter FLASH related read/write operations.
