DEV_OPEN(9)		    Network device support		   DEV_OPEN(9)

NAME
       dev_open - prepare an interface for use.

SYNOPSIS
       int dev_open(struct net_device * dev);

ARGUMENTS
       dev
	   device to open

DESCRIPTION
       Takes a device from down to up state. The deviceĀ“s private open
       function is invoked and then the multicast lists are loaded. Finally
       the device is moved into the up state and a NETDEV_UP message is sent
       to the netdev notifier chain.

       Calling this function on an active interface is a nop. On a failure a
       negative errno code is returned.
