NAME
init_trdev - Register token ring device
SYNOPSIS
struct net_device * init_trdev (struct net_device *dev, int sizeof_priv);
ARGUMENTS
- dev A token ring device structure to be filled
- in, or NULL if a new struct should be allo
cated. - sizeof_priv Size of additional driver-private structure
- to be allocated for this ethernet device
DESCRIPTION
Fill in the fields of the device structure with token
ring-generic values.
If no device structure is passed, a new one is con
structed, complete with a private data area of size
sizeof_priv. A 32-byte (not bit) alignment is enforced
for this private data area.
- If an empty string area is passed as dev->name, or a
new structure is made, a new name string is constructed.
