Hi,
Please refer if_attach() of <net/if.c>.
Iam unable to understand why you are constructing a string from interface name &
interface unit number ( ifnet structure members ifp->if_unit & ifp->if_name) & storing
in the data member of sockaddr_dl structure. Iam also confused why you are storing the
hardware address in the sockaddr_dl structure after the above string. I feel that
hardware address can be accessed through the ifnet structure.
Kindly tell me the significance of the ifaddr structure initialization for ipv6 since
it does not store any ip addresses. How other modules benifit from this? Where it is
used?
Waiting for your reply.
regards
ravi prasad
