bnx2x_set_eth_mac(9)

✨ bnx2x_set_eth_mac ✨

okay bestie, so this is a kernel API manual page for bnx2x_set_eth_mac, and honestly it's giving "niche but iconic" energy. we're talking deep kernel networking vibes here, so buckle up 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int bnx2x_set_eth_mac (struct bnx2x *bp , bool set );

💅 ARGUMENTS 💅

• bp — the driver handle, literally your main character pointer to the bnx2x struct 🫶
• set — a bool that says whether we're setting or clearing, like yes/no, on/off, slay/unsay 💖

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

so the way this works is: it configures according to whatever value is chilling in netdev->dev_addr. that's it. that's the whole vibe. it's configuring the eth MAC address in the HW, no cap 🦋

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

okay this list is LONG, but we respect the lore. here are all the cross-references, and yes i'm listing every single one because we don't skip:

like i said. LONG. but every single one is here because we keep the facts, periodt. 💜

anyway, that's the whole page bestie. love that for you. and for the record, this is from the Kernel API Manual, dated October 2026, with the source file being that ./drivers/net/ethernet/broadco... path up in the header. mwah 💋✨
