bnx2x_set_fw_mac_addr(9)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to bnx2x_set_fw_mac_addr — a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual, section 9, and it does exactly one thing: fill in a MAC address in FW format ✨ periodt, that's the whole job description.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void bnx2x_set_fw_mac_addr (__le16 *fw_hi , __le16 *fw_mid , __le16 *fw_lo , u8 *mac );

it's giving void — nothing comes back out, it's all about what you hand in 🫶

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• fw_hi — pointer to upper part 👑 (yes, the top bit, the main character slot)
• fw_mid — pointer to middle part 💅 (the middle child, love her anyway)
• fw_lo — pointer to lower part 🍓 (the lil one at the bottom)
• mac — pointer to MAC address 🦋 (the actual address you're working with)

like, four pointers, all of them yours to pass in — no cap, that's the entire cast 🌈
