Hi, Sorry, I pushed the button of send wrongly. I noticed that there is a code where there are handlers for NETDEV_REGISTER/NETDEV_UNREGISTER: for example:fib_rules_event(), in http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/net/core/fib_rules.c#L707 for what is this handler ? from what I understand, it is **only** for the case of rmmod/insmod of the net driver, since this is the only case that NETDEV_REGISTER/NETDEV_UNREGISTER are called. On the other hand, I am not sure that I understand why this handler does not also handle NETDEV_UP/NETDEV_DOWN in the **same** way, (attach_rules()/detach_rules()) Any ideas? regards, Kevin On Wed, Jul 3, 2013 at 4:26 PM, <Valdis.Kletnieks@xxxxxx> wrote: > On Wed, 03 Jul 2013 16:15:02 +0300, Kevin Wilson said: >> Hello, >> I am having a machine with two ethernet devices. >> Is there a way to generate NETDEV_REGISTER or NETDEV_UNREGISTER >> events, besides rmmod/insmod of >> the device driver ? > > What use case do you have for generating those at other times?
