lan_ehm_free(9r)

NAME

lan_ehm_free - Network: Unregisters the device from Hardware Management

SYNOPSIS

void lan_ehm_free( struct net_hw_mgmt*ehm );

ARGUMENTS

ehm Specifies a pointer to the hardware management structure used by the network device. A network driver allocates a net_hw_mgmt data structure for each network device it controls.

DESCRIPTION

The lan_ehm_free() routine unregisters the network device from Hardware Management and frees up any memory allocated for the interaction with Hardware Management.

NOTES

If lan_ehm_init() was called to initialize the net_hw_mgmt data structure for a network device, make sure that the driver calls lan_ehm_free() when that network device is removed from use (for example, when the device is deconfigured).

RETURN VALUES

None
