axienet_setoptions(9)

🦋 axienet_setoptions — the Kernel API Manual glow-up 🦋

okay so this one lives in the Kernel API Manual and honestly it's a lil function that does exactly what it says on the tin, and we love that for it 💅

---

✨ NAME ✨

axienet_setoptions — Set an Axi Ethernet option 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void axienet_setoptions (struct net_device *ndev , u32 options );

like yes bestie that's the whole signature, she's tiny, she's iconic, she's void 🔥

---

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• ndev — Pointer to the net_device structure. yep, the net_device, the main character of every net driver fr fr 👑
• options — Option to be enabled/disabled 🫶 this is the vibe check you're passing in

---

🧚 DESCRIPTION 🧚

okay so picture this: the Axi Ethernet core is not a one-trick pony, she has multiple features and every single one of them can be selectively turned on or off — like little switches, but for hardware 💅

the typical options? lowkey iconic list ngl:

• the jumbo frame option 🌈
• the basic VLAN option 🎀
• the promiscuous mode option 🙈
• etc.

so what does this function actually do? it sets or clears these options in the Axi Ethernet hardware — that's it, that's the whole job, and she does it well ✨

and how does she do it, you ask? through the axienet_option structure — the whole thing runs through it, no cap 🫶

ngl bestie, this is a kernel API page, so like — respect the hardware, pass real options, and don't go inventing flags that aren't in the axienet_option structure, iykyk 💀

and that's the whole page!! 💜 this lil beauty comes to you straight from ./drivers/net/ethernet/xilinx, dated October 2026, and it's literally titled axienet_setoptions(9) — slay, periodt, mwah 🎀✨🦋
