Subject: [PATCH net-next] docs: networking: clarify intended audience of netdevices.rst
Date: Tue, 15 Apr 2025 10:26:53 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250415172653.811147-1-kuba@kernel.org> (raw)
The netdevices doc is dangerously broad. At least make it clear
that it's intended for developers, not for users.
