MEMBERS
  version_id
      Specifies an identifier that indicates what revision of the data
      structure is being used. Make sure that the device driver initializes
      this field to NET_EHM_VERSION_ID prior to invoking any of the
      lan_common() routines that use this data structure.  You can find the
      definition for NET_EHM_VERSION_ID in
      /usr/include/io/dec/netif/lan_common.h.

  current_val
      Specifies a table that contains pointers to the current values for all
      the network attributes for the device. The storage for the table and
      for the attribute values is allocated by lan_ehm_init().

  default_val
      Specifies a table that contains pointers to the default values for all
      the network attributes for the device. The storage for the table and
      for the attribute values is allocated by lan_ehm_init().

  commands
      Specifies a pointer to an array of commands supported by the network
      adapter.	If the network driver does not support any commands, as is
      typically the case, set this field to NULL.  lan_ehm_init() initializes
      this field to NULL.

  support_rtn
      Specifies a special routine that can be called to perform any of the
      commands listed in the commands array. If there are no commands, set
      this field to NULL.  lan_ehm_init() initializes this field to NULL.

  mss Specifies the management support structure allocated by
      lan_register_adapter(). This data structure is registered with the
      Hardware Management facility and contains pointers to all of the
      previously listed tables plus other information needed by the facility.

  handle
      Specifies an identifier returned by the hardware registration function
      that must be used in further dealings with the Hardware Management
      facility.

  reserved[8]
      Reserved for future use.

DESCRIPTION
  The net_hw_mgmt data structure is allocated by a network driver that wants
  to participate in Hardware Managment by using the access routines provided
  by the lan_common subsystem. Make sure that the driver declares one of
  these data structures for each device it controls.
