πŸ’– NETFPGA10G_NF10BMAC πŸ’–

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, because we're talking about a kernel interfaces manual page β€” section 4 energy, FreeBSD girlies, let's GO ✨


🌸 NAME 🌸

netfpga10g_nf10bmac β€” literally the driver for the NetFPGA-10G Embedded CPU Ethernet Core. that's it, that's the whole vibe. she's a device driver and she knows it πŸ’…


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

the way you summon her is SO simple, no cap:

device netfpga10g_nf10bmac

that's the entire incantation. one line. iconic behavior fr fr πŸŽ€


πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

so what does netfpga10g_nf10bmac actually do, you ask? she is a device driver and she provides support for the NetFPGA-10G Embedded CPU Ethernet Core. that's her whole job, her whole purpose, her main character arc 🌈

no notes. she serves 🫢


πŸ‘‘ HARDWARE πŸ‘‘

now THIS part matters, bestie, so pay attention πŸ”₯

the current version of the netfpga10g_nf10bmac driver works with one PIO mode interface of the NetFPGA-10G Embedded CPU Ethernet Core version 1.00a.

one interface. one version. that's the whole compatibility list. she's exclusive like that πŸ’…βœ¨

⭐ HISTORY ⭐

the netfpga10g_nf10bmac device driver first appeared in FreeBSD 11.0. a debut era. a moment in time. the origin story 🌸


πŸ’œ AUTHORS πŸ’œ

okay this is the cute part where we credit everyone πŸ₯Ή

this software and this manual page were developed by SRI International and the University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory under DARPA/AFRL contract (FA8750-11-C-0249) (β€œMRC2”), as part of the DARPA MRC research programme.

and the device driver itself was written by Bjoern A. Zeeb. king behavior, we love to see it πŸ‘‘


πŸŽ€ the sign-off πŸŽ€

so this whole thing came out of Debian, dated April 17, 2014 β€” that's the source and the date, and yes, 2014 was lowkey a whole lifetime ago, but the driver's still cute, the docs still slay, and you now know everything there is to know about netfpga10g_nf10bmac πŸ’–

go forth and be a kernel interfaces manual girly. periodt. βœ¨πŸ¦‹πŸ’…
