It uses SIOCSIFMAP, which (I think) winds up in dev.c here:
case SIOCSIFMAP:
if (dev->set_config) {
if (!netif_device_present(dev))

Yes. See drivers/acorn/net/etherh.c for an(other) example driver
supporting 10baseT and 10base2.

Uhmmm, it's not a standard if "many drivers do not support it".

The Ethtool interface is rather better.

Even if you are thinking about Ethernet only, it's not easy to do it. Most
modern NICs have MII transc

For synchronous network interfaces, besides configuring network parameters
such as IP address, netmask, MTU, etc., the system should also configure
parameters specific to these sync i/f's, such as media (e.g V.35, X.21,
T1, E1), clock (internal or external, and value if int.), protocol (e
