Detailed Description 
Generic data structure used for all lwIP network interfaces. 
The following fields should be filled in by the initialization function for the device driver: hwaddr_len, hwaddr[], mtu, flags

the AutoIP client state information for this netif 
Definition at line 128  of file netif.h .
 
 
the DHCP client state information for this netif 
Definition at line 124  of file netif.h .
 
 
flags (see NETIF_FLAG_ above)

          u8_t hwaddr [NETIF_MAX_HWADDR_LEN] 
         
      
 
link level hardware address of this interface 
Definition at line 137  of file netif.h .
 
 
number of bytes used in hwaddr 
Definition at line 135  of file netif.h .
 
 
This function is called by the network device driver to pass a packet up the TCP/IP stack. 
Definition at line 99  of file netif.h .
 
 
IP address configuration in network byte order. 
Definition at line 93  of file netif.h .
 
 
This function is called when the netif link is set to up or down. 
Definition at line 117  of file netif.h .
 
 
(estimate) link speed 
Definition at line 150  of file netif.h .
 
 
link type (from "snmp_ifType" enum from snmp.h ) 
Definition at line 148  of file netif.h .
 
 
This function is called by the ARP module when it wants to send a packet on the interface. 
This function outputs the pbuf as-is on the link medium. 
Definition at line 108  of file netif.h .
 
 
maximum transfer unit (in bytes) 
Definition at line 139  of file netif.h .
 
 
descriptive abbreviation 
Definition at line 143  of file netif.h .
 
 
pointer to next in linked list 
Definition at line 90  of file netif.h .
 
 
number of this interface 
Definition at line 145  of file netif.h .
 
 
This function is called by the IP module when it wants to send a packet on the interface. 
This function typically first resolves the hardware address, then sends the packet. 
Definition at line 103  of file netif.h .
 
 
This field can be set by the device driver and could point to state information for the device. 
Definition at line 121  of file netif.h .
 
 
This function is called when the netif state is set to up or down. 
Definition at line 112  of file netif.h .
 
 
timestamp at last change made (up/down) 
Definition at line 152  of file netif.h .
