Detailed Description

Ethernet L2 context that is needed for VLAN.

Field Documentation

carrier_work

struct k_work ethernet_context::carrier_work

Carrier ON/OFF handler worker.

This is used to create network interface UP/DOWN event when ethernet L2 driver notices carrier ON/OFF situation. We must not create another network management event from inside management handler thus we use worker thread to trigger the UP/DOWN event.

eth_if_type

enum ethernet_if_types ethernet_context::eth_if_type

Types of Ethernet network interfaces.

ethernet_l2_flags

enum net_l2_flags ethernet_context::ethernet_l2_flags

This tells what L2 features does ethernet support.

flags

atomic_t ethernet_context::flags

Flags representing ethernet state, which are accessed from multiple threads.

iface

struct net_if* ethernet_context::iface

Network interface.

is_init

bool ethernet_context::is_init

Is this context already initialized.

is_net_carrier_up

bool ethernet_context::is_net_carrier_up

Is network carrier up.
