+Description:
|
|
|
+ Indicates the port number of this network device, formatted
|
|
|
+ as a decimal value. Some NICs have multiple independent ports
|
|
|
+ on the same PCI bus, device and function. This attribute allows
|
|
|
+ userspace to distinguish the respective interfaces.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ Note: some device drivers started to use 'dev_id' for this
|
|
|
+ purpose since long before 3.15 and have not adopted the new
|
|
|
+ attribute ever since. To query the port number, some tools look
|
|
|
+ exclusively at 'dev_port', while others only consult 'dev_id'.
|
|
|
+ If a network device has multiple client adapter ports as
|
|
|
+ described in the previous paragraph and does not set this
|
|
|
+ attribute to its port number, it's a kernel bug.
