DEV_ADD_PACK(9)                       Network device support                      DEV_ADD_PACK(9)



NAME
       dev_add_pack - add packet handler

SYNOPSIS
       void dev_add_pack(struct packet_type * pt);

ARGUMENTS
       pt
           packet type declaration

DESCRIPTION
       Add a protocol handler to the networking stack. The passed packet_type is linked into
       kernel lists and may not be freed until it has been removed from the kernel lists.

       This call does not sleep therefore it can not guarantee all CPU's that are in middle of
       receiving packets will see the new packet type (until the next received packet).
