📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 NAME 💅

ath5k_hw_set_rx_filter — set the rx filter, bestie ✨

So like, this is from the Kernel API Manual (the (9) girlies, you know the ones), and she's here to set your RX filter. That's the whole vibe. 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void ath5k_hw_set_rx_filter (struct ath5k_hw *ah , u32 filter );

No return value, she just does the thing and leaves. Iconic behaviour honestly. 💅

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • ah — The struct ath5k_hw. Like, the actual hardware struct, your main character of the whole situation. 👑
  • filter — The RX filter mask (see reg.h). Yes, reg.h. Go look. iykyk. 🧚

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Okay so here's the tea, bestie: this function sets the RX filter register. That's it. That's the job. 🫶

But wait, there's more — she also handles the PHY error filter register on 5212 and newer chips, so that we have proper PHY error reporting. Not me doing two registers at once, we love a multitasking queen. 💖

So fr fr: set the RX filter register ✅, plus handle the PHY error filter register on 5212 and newer chips ✅, and the payoff is proper PHY error reporting. Slay. 🔥

Not me ending the page with the whole squad tagged 💀 — go read pcu.c, it's giving main character energy and she deserves your attention. 🌈

Okay bye bestie, mwah! 💋 This lil' page lives in ./drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath5k, it's the October 2026 edition, and it ships as ath5k_hw_set_rx_filter(9). Go forth and filter those rx's. 🍓👑
