Hello,

*dev pointer is device assign global linked list and shouldnt be
touched by the driver so *dev wont get any value right?
Also seems to use this while network interface is initializing because
some activation information and stats information is also kept here,
for example, open *dev will call when ifconfig is called from.

route, link, forward these inital activate and move all values with
net_device *dev?
