hi all, in my ethernet driveres intialization function, how shud i allocate space for the net_device structure??? i have seen in 8139too.c a call to "alloc_etherdev(dev)". is this the preffered way to allocate space for the net_device struct. In rubini's book he has mentioned the use of "ether_setup" (there is no mention of "alloc_etherdev") to partially fill up the net_device struct, but this fxn is not used in some real world drivers like the driver for realtek card (8139too.c). where can i get info on what functions like "alloc_etherdev" do???
