Subject: how to report network device errors to userspace?
Date: Wed, 19 Jun 2002 14:39:53 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3D10CFF9.B4072FEA@nortelnetworks.com> (raw)
I'm curious about the proper way for a network device driver to report faults to
userspace.
The network devices don't seem to have /dev entries as a rule, so that makes it
difficult to use select/poll to alert a user app.
I haven't been able to find a standard interface for this--does nobody care
about this kind of thing?
