also, if you wanna read the source (and like, same), the kernel file lives right here π
./drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/bnx2x/bnx2x_cmn.h
π‘ friendly reminder: everything above is a kernel-source reference, so these pages are for the devs poking at the bnx2x driver, not for you typing it into a shell. iykyk π
and that's the page!! π this little beauty comes from ./drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/... (the footer cuts it off with broadco..., rude but okay π) and it's dated October 2026 β so yeah, she's from the future, main character energy fr fr βπ byeee, go read the other 57 pages, mwah π
