Core interface that network device drivers must implement.

Provides device-level operations: queue creation, interrupt management, and MAC address retrieval. Individual packet I/O goes through the queue traits (ITxQueue / IRxQueue).

Required Methods

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

Returns the device’s 6-byte MAC address.

fn create_tx_queue(&mut self) -> Option<Box<dyn ITxQueue>>

Create a new transmit queue. Returns None if no more queues are available.

fn create_rx_queue(&mut self) -> Option<Box<dyn IRxQueue>>

Create a new receive queue. Returns None if no more queues are available.

fn enable_irq(&mut self)

Enable device interrupts.

fn disable_irq(&mut self)

Disable device interrupts.

fn is_irq_enabled(&self) -> bool

Check whether device interrupts are currently enabled.

fn handle_irq(&mut self) -> Event

Handle a device interrupt, returning which queues have events.
