.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
Register a notifier to be called when network device events occur.
The notifier passed is linked into the kernel structures and must
not be reused until it has been unregistered. A negative errno code
is returned on a failure.
.PP
When registered all registration and up events are replayed
to the new notifier to allow device to have a race free 
view of the network device list.
