📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

okay bestie, welcome to bnx2fc_update_src_mac(9) from the Kernel API Manual — this is the little function that handles Ethernet MAC filter updates, and yes it ate 💅✨

🎀 NAME 🎀

bnx2fc_update_src_mac — Update Ethernet MAC filters. no cap, that's the whole name vibe 🫶

  • lport — The local port. literally the local port, bestie 💖
  • addr — Location of data to copy. it's giving "here's where the data lives" ✨

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

So first it removes any previously-set unicast MAC filter — bye-bye old filter, not me being dramatic 😭 — and then it adds a secondary FCoE MAC address filter for our OUI. That's the tea, periodt 🌈
