I was wondering if there were any examples of net devices that expect
to be told the ip information for their connection (things doing
forms of offload). If so can someone point me at a driver that does
this.

I don't know much about the HW details but drivers/infiniband/hw/amso1100
does something like that. drivers/infiniband is somewhat misnamed
these days but amso1100 is a driver for RDMA over ethernet hardware.

Try drivers/s390/net/qeth_main.c. Of course, it's best to avoid this
if at all possible.
