+What:		/sys/class/net/<iface>/addr_len
+Date:		April 2005
+KernelVersion:	2.6.12
+Contact:	netdev@vger.kernel.org
+Description:
+		Indicates the hardware address size in bytes.

+		interface (Ethernet, FDDI, ATM, IEEE 802.15.4...). See
+		include/uapi/linux/if_*.h for actual values.
+
+What:		/sys/class/net/<iface>/address
+Date:		April 2005
+KernelVersion:	2.6.12
+Contact:	netdev@vger.kernel.org
+Description:
+		Hardware address currently assigned to this interface.
+		Format is a string, e.g: 00:11:22:33:44:55 for an Ethernet MAC
+		address.
+
+What:		/sys/class/net/<bridge iface>/bridge/group_fwd_mask
+Date:		January 2012
+KernelVersion:	3.2
+Contact:	netdev@vger.kernel.org
+Description:
+		Bitmask to allow forwarding of link local frames with address
+		01-80-C2-00-00-0X on a bridge device. Only values that set bits
+		not matching BR_GROUPFWD_RESTRICTED in net/bridge/br_private.h
+		allowed.
+		Default value 0 does not forward any link local frames.
+
+		Restricted bits:
+
+		== ========================================================
+		0  01-80-C2-00-00-00 Bridge Group Address used for STP
+		1  01-80-C2-00-00-01 (MAC Control) 802.3 used for MAC PAUSE

+What:		/sys/class/net/<iface>/broadcast
+Date:		April 2005
+KernelVersion:	2.6.12
+Contact:	netdev@vger.kernel.org

+
+What:		/sys/class/net/<iface>/carrier
+Date:		April 2005
+KernelVersion:	2.6.12
+Contact:	netdev@vger.kernel.org
+Description:
+		Indicates the current physical link state of the interface.
+		Possible values are:
+
+		== =====================
+		0  physical link is down
+		1  physical link is up
+		== =====================
+
+		Note: some special devices, e.g: bonding and team drivers will
+		allow this attribute to be written to force a link state for
+		operating correctly and designating another fallback interface.
+
+What:		/sys/class/net/<iface>/dev_id
+Date:		April 2008
+KernelVersion:	2.6.26
+Contact:	netdev@vger.kernel.org
+Description:
+		Indicates the device unique identifier. Format is an hexadecimal
+		value. This is used to disambiguate interfaces which might be
+		stacked (e.g: VLAN interfaces) but still have the same MAC
+		address as their parent device.
+
+What:		/sys/class/net/<iface>/dev_port
+Date:		February 2014
+KernelVersion:	3.15
+Contact:	netdev@vger.kernel.org
+Description:
+		Indicates the port number of this network device, formatted
+		as a decimal value. Some NICs have multiple independent ports
+		on the same PCI bus, device and function. This attribute allows
+		userspace to distinguish the respective interfaces.
+
+		Note: some device drivers started to use 'dev_id' for this
+		purpose since long before 3.15 and have not adopted the new
+		attribute ever since. To query the port number, some tools look
+		exclusively at 'dev_port', while others only consult 'dev_id'.
+		If a network device has multiple client adapter ports as
+		described in the previous paragraph and does not set this
+		attribute to its port number, it's a kernel bug.
+
+What:		/sys/class/net/<iface>/dormant
+Date:		March 2006
+KernelVersion:	2.6.17
+Contact:	netdev@vger.kernel.org
+Description:
+		Indicates whether the interface is in dormant state. Possible
+		values are:
+		0: interface is not dormant
+		1: interface is dormant
+
+		This attribute can be used by supplicant software to signal that
+		the device is not usable unless some supplicant-based
+		authentication is performed (e.g: 802.1x). 'link_mode' attribute
+		will also reflect the dormant state.
+

+Date:		April 2002
+KernelVersion:	5.8
+Contact:	netdev@vger.kernel.org
+Description:
+		Indicates whether the interface is under test. Possible
+		values are:
+
+		== =============================
+		0  interface is not being tested
+		1  interface is being tested
+		== =============================
+
+		When an interface is under test, it cannot be expected
+		to pass packets as normal.

+Date:		October 2009
+KernelVersion:	2.6.33
+Contact:	netdev@vger.kernel.org

+		network devices group. The group can be changed to affect
+		routing decisions (see: net/ipv4/fib_rules and
+		net/ipv6/fib6_rules.c).
