lan_set_common_attributes(9r)
NAME
  lan_set_common_attributes - Network: Sets the Hardware Management
  attributes that are common among network drivers

SYNOPSIS
  void lan_set_common_attributes(
	  void **attr_tbl,
	  struct ether_driver *is_ed );

ARGUMENTS
  attr_tbl
      The address of one of the attribute tables (either current_val or
      default_val) found in a net_hw_mgmt data structure.

  is_ed
      The address of the common driver data structure. This contains the
      ifnet structure and the hardware address.

DESCRIPTION
  The lan_set_common_attributes() routine initializes the basic network
  attributes based on information found in the network device's ifnet data
  structure. As a convenience, the network driver calls this function to
  initialize the following attributes:

    ·  name

    ·  category

    ·  sub_category

    ·  MAC_address

    ·  MTU_size

    ·  media_speed

    ·  loopback_mode

    ·  promiscuous_mode

    ·  interface_number









NOTES
  Make sure that this routine is called only after lan_ehm_init() and
  if_attach() have been called.


EXAMPLE
  The following example shows how to use lan_set_common_attributes():

	       struct nd_softc {
		       struct ether_driver *is_ed;
		       struct net_hw_mgmt ehm;
		       ...
	       } sc;
	       struct ifnet *ifp = &sc.is_ed->ess_ac.ac_if;

	       lan_ehm_init (&sc.ehm, NET_EHM_VERSION_ID);
	       lan_set_attribute (sc.ehm.current_val, NET_MODEL_NDX, "3C509");
	       if_attach (ifp);
	       lan_set_common_attributes (sc.ehm.current_val, sc.is_ed);

RETURN VALUES
  None
