bnx2x_set_os_driver_state(9)

👑 bnx2x_set_os_driver_state(9) — like, the bnx2x_set_os_driver_state page, bestie

okay so welcome to the Kernel API Manual (section 9, we love a numbered girlie ✨). This one's a tiny little function but she's important, iykyk.

---

✨ NAME ✨

bnx2x_set_os_driver_state — write driver state for management FW usage 💅

Like, you're literally telling the management firmware what the driver's current vibe is. That's the whole job. Iconic, honestly.

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

void bnx2x_set_os_driver_state (struct bnx2x *bp , u32 state );

Returns nothing (void), takes two things. That's it. She's low maintenance. 🫶

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• bp — driver handle. Your little pointer to the struct bnx2x, your main character. 🫶
• state — an OS_DRIVER_STATE_* value reflecting current driver state. So it's one of those OS_DRIVER_STATE_* constants, and it's supposed to mirror where the driver is at right now. fr fr, that's the whole parameter.

okay that's the page!! 🦋 source is ./drivers/net/ethernet/broadco... (yes it's truncated in the footer, that's just how she comes, don't @ me), dated October 2026, and it's bnx2x_set_os_driver_state(9) all the way down. mwah 💋 periodt 🌈
