Hi all:

in struct net_device
there is a function pointer    rx_handler_func_t __rcu	*rx_handler
it's very convenient to register a function in an externel module
and do some special handlings

so i think what about to add an tx_handler_func
before        ndo_start_xmit() been invoked
and do some special things before transmit

is it necessary or there is already some other better methods to achieve this goal ?
Thank you all
