...;t even see how this helps. Are you also not going to call > list_netdevice()? Are you going to add some other list for these > devices in a different class? list_netdevice() is still called. I think with the current RFC patch, I've added two lists for netdevs under the kernel namespace: dev_cmpl_list and name_cmpl_hlist. As a result of that, all userspace netdevs get registered will be added to two types of lists: the userspace list for e.g. dev_list, and also the kernelspace list e.g. dev_cmpl_list (I can rename it to something more accurate). The IFF_AUTO_MANAGED device will be only added to...
