bnx2x_set_power_state(9)

💅 bnx2x_set_power_state — like, the Kernel API Manual page, bestie ✨

okay so first of all, hi, welcome to the bnx2x_set_power_state(9) page from the Kernel API Manual 🫶 this is the one that tells your NIC "hey babe, go to sleep" (or "wake up", we love a flexible icon). Pull up a chair, we're getting into it.

---

✨ NAME ✨

bnx2x_set_power_state — literally just sets the power state to whatever value you asked for. that's it. that's the whole job. 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int bnx2x_set_power_state (struct bnx2x *bp , pci_power_t state );

like, it returns an int, takes your driver handle and the state you want. no cap, that's the whole signature 👑

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• bp — the driver handle bestie, your lil all-access pass to the driver 💖
• state — the state you're requesting, and it's gotta be D0 or D3hot (the required ones, fr fr) 🦋

---

💀 DESCRIPTION 💀

so rn, D0 and D3hot are the only ones supported. currently. that's the vibe check and those are the only two that pass 😭 don't come in here asking for anything else, the code is not ready for that conversation.
