Hi,

I'm facing an issue where
ifconfig command output doesn't display the interface that is created
using alloc_netdev and registered using register_netdev.

If i do 'ifconfig -a', i'm seeing the interface which i created.

Under what circumstances does the interface is not shown in ifconfig
output but in 'ifconfig -a' output.

Also, i'm not seeing any packets forwarded to the created interface.
i.e None of the Rx Packets and Tx Packets counters are getting
incremented,

Can any one please let me know your suggestions / any documentation
related to this problem area.

Thank you.
