> > @wengzhe could you please include a documentation at https://github.com/apache/nuttx/tree/master/Documentation/components/net ? I think it is important to talk about it, including your point of view according with your discussion with Greg Nutt at mailing list. What are the advantages and limitations of doing the way you did it. > > I think the points raised by Greg about following the standard and modularization are important too! > > @acassis I haven't found an existing doc for our network device structure yet, anyway, I'll try to add them and create a new file if needed. > > BTW, basically, I'm not differing in opinion with @gregory-nutt on having multiple IP addresses in a single device structure, this is the way that it should happen, and I've already introduced Kconfig options to control size/performance implications. > > The disagreement at the mailing list is on the workaround-like solution for Matthias's need: > > > how do I get a second interface I can work with? > > And it has nothing to do with this PR, because they're on different design levels, and it's just a suggestion that may work without modifying any existing kernel things.
