Hi stephane,

 I have cscope installed to search source files.
I could not find "register_netdevice()" functionthrough it. I want to see
where it calls the driver initialisation.
Please help me out.

Thanks in advance,
Warm regards,

Hi,

Maybe you didn't tell cscope to search in linux/net/core/* .
It's there, in dev.c .

:) You should use more sophistacated and complex, very high tech new source
browsing tools like find and grep instead :) It's of course in the network
core.
