Hi *, If I want to assign an IP address to an ethernet interface (say eth0) in a kernel module, I call the function ic_dev_ioctl(SIOCSIFADDR, struct ifreq *ir).. However this doesn't seem to set the IP Addr....Any ideas why ? Or is there any other way of setting the IP ? Thanks, Subhash -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
