[RFC][PATCH -mm take4 4/6] using symlink for the net_device

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Keiichi KII <[email protected]>

We use symbolic link for net_device.
The link in sysfs represents the corresponding network etherdevice.

| |--- net:<net_dev>  [rw-r--r--]  net_dev: eth0,eth1,...
| ...
