lan_create_controller(9r)
NAME
  lan_create_controller - Network: Creates and initializes a controller data
  structure for a network device driver

SYNOPSIS
  int lan_create_controller(
	  struct lan_config_data *driver_data );

ARGUMENTS
  driver_data
      Specifies a pointer to a lan_config_data structure, which is declared
      by the network driver. It contains information such as the driver data
      structure for the network device.

DESCRIPTION
  The lan_create_controller() routine allocates and initializes a controller
  data structure for a network device. It uses data passed in via the
  driver_data argument to properly set up the controller structure.

NOTES
  Make sure that a network device driver calls this routine from its probe
  interface so that a new spare controller data structure is available for
  Driver Framework to use.

RETURN VALUES
  ESUCCESS
      The controller structure was successfully created.

  EINVAL
      Invalid input condition to the function detected. Ensure that the
      driver_data argument is initialized completely before calling
      lan_create_controller().

  ENOMEM
      Unable to allocate memory required.
