Trait NetworkDevice 

pub trait NetworkDevice: Send + Sync {
    // Required methods
    fn name(&self) -> &str;
    fn receive(&self, buf: &mut [u8]) -> Result<usize, NetError>;
    fn transmit(&self, buf: &[u8]) -> Result<(), NetError>;
    fn mac_address(&self) -> [u8; 6];
    fn link_up(&self) -> bool;

    // Provided method
    fn handle_interrupt(&self) { ... }
}

Unified network device interface.

Kernel-resident drivers wrap their hardware-specific struct in a SpinLock and implement this trait with interior mutability. Future silo-hosted drivers expose the same interface via IPC.

Required Methods

fn name(&self) -> &str

Performs the name operation.

fn receive(&self, buf: &mut [u8]) -> Result<usize, NetError>

Performs the receive operation.

fn transmit(&self, buf: &[u8]) -> Result<(), NetError>

Performs the transmit operation.

fn mac_address(&self) -> [u8; 6]

Performs the mac address operation.

fn link_up(&self) -> bool

Performs the link up operation.

Provided Methods

fn handle_interrupt(&self)

Handles interrupt.
