Hello,
As far as I know all network drivers are automatically shown in
/sys/class/net;
But what to do if I want my kobject which is in my char driver appears in
/sys/class/net?
I am writing char driver which control some features on a switching device.
My kobject appears in directly in /sys directory because I set kobject
parent and kset to NULL.
But I need to move it to the net directory. I have read the book Linux
Device Drivers and searched web, but I have not found way how to acquire
pointers to ksets created by another drivers and how to connect to net
class.
Thanks for all suggestions.

If your driver is not a 'struct network_device' then don't put it
in /sys/class/net please. If you must then, it must export the same
files to keep from breaking assumptions of tools.
