OPA VNIC netdev function supports Ethernet functionality over Omni-Path fabric by encapsulating Ethernet packets inside Omni-Path packet header. It allocates a rdma netdev device and interfaces with the network stack to provide standard Ethernet network interfaces. It overrides HFI1 device's netdev operations where it is required.
