WvInterface Class Reference

Detailed Description

A WvInterface manages a particular network interface.

It is _allowed_ to have more than one WvInterface instance referring to the same physical interface, because that is more convenient.

Member Function Documentation

int WvInterface::setflags (  int  clear, int  set )

toggle kernel flags on this netdevice. Be careful!

int WvInterface::setipaddr (  const WvIPNet &  addr  )

Sets the local address, netmask, and broadcast of this interface and set a route to the local net. Returns 0 on success, else an error code.

int WvInterface::setmtu (  int  mtu  )

Sets the MTU of the interface. Returns 0 on success, else an error code.

int WvInterface::sethwaddr (  const WvAddr &  addr  )

Set the hardware address of this interface. Returns 0 on success, else an error code.
