represents a variety of information, including the

if_el

driver’s

interrupt polling requirements.

Declares an argument called

indatalen

to store the size of this input

data structure. This argument represents the number of

cfg_attr_t

data structures included in

indata

Declares an argument for user-defined configuration operations, which
can occur when the

cfgmgr

framework calls the driver’s

configure

interface with the

CFG_OP_USERDEFINED

operation code. Typically,

this argument is not used.

Declares the size of the

outdata

argument. Typically, this argument

is not used.

Calls the LAN common driver code to configure the device (either
statically or dynamically).
