NAME

init_fcdev - Register fibre channel device

SYNOPSIS

struct net_device * init_fcdev (struct net_device *dev, int sizeof_priv);

ARGUMENTS

dev: A fibre channel device structure to be filled in, or NULL if a new struct should be allocated.
sizeof_priv: Size of additional driver-private structure to be allocated for this ethernet device

DESCRIPTION

Fill in the fields of the device structure with fibre channel-generic values.

If no device structure is passed, a new one is constructed, complete with a private data area of size sizeof_priv. A 32-byte (not bit) alignment is enforced for this private data area.

If an empty string area is passed as dev->name, or a new structure is made, a new name string is constructed.
