Re: Configure network

[<fra...@ya...>]

I suppose you use the ether_setup()
function in the init function of your ethernet driver.
( I will called it ether1394_init() )

The ether_setup() fonction assign lot of things for
your driver and can assign its name like "eth1" or
"eth2", depands on number of ethernet interface are
"up" in the kernel.

But for this, you have to define a global char buffer
inside your module :
  char etherdev_name[8];

then the field 'name' of your network device must
point to this buffer :

static struct device ether1394_dev = {
  etherdev_name,    // pointe vers une zone memoire
qui a ete reservee
  0, 0, 0, 0,       // shmem adresse
  0x0000,           // IOport
  0,                // irq
  0, 0, 0,          // flags
  NULL,             // next
  NULL,             // init = null, pour le moment
};

And in your init_module() function you should :

  // refer to your network device init function :
  ether1394_dev.init = ether1394_init;
  // put a blank char on the name buffer of your
network device
  // So the ether_setup() function will assign
  // a name like "eth1"
  ether1394_dev.name[0] = ' ';
  // and register your ethernet driver
  // this will call your ether1394_init() function
  register_netdev(&ether1394_dev) 

Now you can insmod ether1394 and ifup eth1
