Hi all:
I am absolutely new to kernel module programming. I have to modify the
hostap -code such that whenever a network device is registered, it is
assigned an ip address.
can i some how use the devinet.c functions such as
inetdev_init,inet_insert_ifa,etc fucntions even though they are not
exported, if so how.
Thank you

Do it in userspace. Listen for the netlink event that occurs when network
device is registered and send a netlink message to assign an IP address.
