Great article. I’ve been walking through the tutorials on kernel module programming at lkmp and was trying to apply that knowledge to figure out network interfaces. This article cleared up the fact that network interfaces are handled differently and don’t use a /dev file.
Ifconfig shows only those interfaces that are up, it won’t show interfaces that would be provided by other kernel modules that are loaded but not currently up.
Do you know if there is a tool that will show the entire list of network interfaces that could be provided by all loaded kernel modules whether up or down?
