Unlike for block and character drivers, you do not specify network driver
entry points in the dsent data structure. This means that a network
driver has no exposure into the file system and, therefore, has no entry in
the /dev directory. Thus, network drivers do not have block and character
driver-specific interfaces such as open, close, read, write, and strategy.
