24 * We assign a single generic netlink family ID to each device (to
27 * We need a way to map family ID to a wimax_dev pointer.
29 * The idea is to use a very simple lookup. Using a netlink attribute
30 * with (for example) the interface name implies a heavier search over
31 * all the network devices; seemed kind of a waste given that we know
32 * we are looking for a WiMAX device and that most systems will have
33 * just a single WiMAX adapter.
35 * We put all the WiMAX devices in the system in a linked list and
36 * match the generic link family ID against the list.
38 * By using a linked list, the case of a single adapter in the system
39 * becomes (almost) no overhead, while still working for many more. If
40 * it ever goes beyond two, I'll be surprised.
