🌸 NAME 🌸

ngbe_open — called when a network interface is made active 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int ngbe_open (struct net_device *netdev );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• netdev — the network interface device structure 👑 literally the device struct we’re working with.

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

Returns 0 on success, negative value on failure 😭 that’s the whole return-code situation, bestie.

The open entry point is called when a network interface is made active by the system (IFF_UP) ✨ so when the system brings that interface up with IFF_UP, this is the function that gets the call. Periodt.
