Yes it did come up in 'ifconfig' with running that command 'ifconfig <ifname> up'. But I'm still not seeing any packets forwarded to that interface. Rx/Tx counters are not incrementing. How can i troubleshoot this problem?. On Mon, Nov 5, 2012 at 11:36 PM, Kumar amit mehta <gmate.amit@gmail.com> wrote:

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,
Maybe your interface is down. Try bringing it up by invoking: ifconfig <your interface> up
Can any one please let me know your suggestions / any documentation related to this problem area.
