+# Connect a client to a netmap-enabled NIC or to a VALE switch port
+#
+# @ifname: Either the name of an existing network interface supported by
+#          netmap, or the name of a VALE port (created on the fly).
+#          A VALE port name is in the form 'valeXXX:YYY', where XXX and
+#          YYY are non-negative integers. XXX identifies a switch and
+#          YYY identifies a port of the switch. VALE ports having the
+#          same XXX are therefore connected to the same switch.
+#
+# @devname: #optional path of the netmap device (default: '/dev/netmap').
+#
+# Since 1.8
