Interrupt Handler of Ethernet Device

[Rami Rosen]

Robert,
You should look for the request_irq() method in the driver.
This method registers an interrupt handler.
For example, you can look in:
http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/e100.c
...
...
    if ((err = request_irq(nic->pdev->irq, e100_intr, IRQF_SHARED,
                 nic->netdev->name, nic->netdev)))

...

This means that e100_intr is registered as an interrupt handler.

Best,
Rami Rosen
