struct net_device结构体解析

 /*
 * The DEVICE structure.
 * Actually, this whole structure is a big mistake.  It mixes I/O
 * data with strictly "high-level" data, and it has to know about
 * almost every data structure used in the INET module.
 *
 * FIXME: cleanup struct net_device such that network protocol info
 * moves out.

红色是基本字段

蓝色是fops相关

绿色是ethtool支持用
