dev_getbyhwaddr(9)
NAME
dev_getbyhwaddr - find a device by its hardware address
SYNOPSIS
struct net_device * dev_getbyhwaddr(struct net * net,
unsigned short type, char * ha);
ARGUMENTS
- net
- the applicable net namespace
- type
- media type of device
- ha
- hardware address
DESCRIPTION
Search for an interface by MAC address. Returns NULL if the device is
not found or a pointer to the device. The caller must hold the rtnl
semaphore. The returned device has not had its ref count increased and
the caller must therefore be careful about locking
BUGS
If the API was consistent this would be __dev_get_by_hwaddr
