what network driver routines are invoked via "ifup" and "ifdown"?
first time poking around network drivers, and i'm wondering what platform driver routines are called when invoking ifup/ifdown from user space (if any). i'm *assuming* (possibly incorrectly) that the probe() and remove() routines are invoked only on loading and unloading the driver, not simple ifup and ifdown. guidance, anyone? rday
I guess you're looking for net_device_ops https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/latest/source/include/linux/netdevice.h#L87... Follow the comments, the definition is following it! Regards, 2018-07-31 9:35 GMT-03:00 <rpjday@crashcourse.ca>:
