How to access network driver through .......
 

Hello all,

I want to access a Ethernet driver though linux.

Can anybody tell me, How can I access Ethernet driver through TCP/IP in linux, or is there any other alternative??????
And if I can access ethernet driver routines(APIs )with TCP/IP(or with some other way), where exactly I can find those API for that.

In simple one sentence if I say my prob " I am looking for API in TCP/IP in linux and it's path to access ethernet driver"


Thank you so much.

Define what you mean when you say driver? And whatt do you
want to achieve with your
"API in TCP/IP in linux and it's path to access ethernet driver"
?

Thanks for the reply Tink,

Driver means a , kernel program to send packets and recieve packet, A network driver.

I have written a network driver and ported on linux but Now I dont know how the application user can access it?
Can he use any TCP/IP related routines or
READ/WRITE mechanism will work?

or if I need to write my own APIs for accessing it, I dont know how can I access it?

thanks,
I hope I am clear to what I am saying here.
