✨ ca8210_set_hw_addr_filt ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the ca8210_set_hw_addr_filt(9) page from the Kernel API Manual 💅 this is the little function that handles your address filtering glow-up for the ca8210, and yes we're gonna read it together, no skipping 🔥

🌸 NAME 🌸

ca8210_set_hw_addr_filt — Sets the address filtering parameters of the ca8210 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int ca8210_set_hw_addr_filt (struct ieee802154_hw *hw , struct
ieee802154_hw_addr_filt *filt , unsigned long changed );

💜 ARGUMENTS 💜

  • hw — the ieee802154_hw of the target ca8210, like, the device we're talking to 💖
  • filt — the filtering parameters themselves, the whole vibe check 🫶
  • changed — a bitmap representing which parameters to change, so it knows exactly what got updated ✨

🧚 DESCRIPTION 🧚

So like, real talk: this function effectively just sets the actual addressing information that identifies this node 😌 that's the whole job. All the actual filtering? Not here, bestie — that's performed by the ca8210, exactly as detailed in the IEEE 802.15.4 2006 specification 📜 so we just hand over the identity info and let the hardware do its main character thing 👑

⭐ RETURN ⭐

0 or a linux error code 💀 (that's the whole range, no cap)

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

Kernel file ./drivers/net/ieee802154/ca8210.c and honestly the entire extended universe of friends 🫶:

ok that's the whole page, you ate that 💅 go forth and filter those addresses, bestie 🍓

and that's a wrap, babe 🎀 this little gem lives in ./drivers/net/ieee802154, dated October 2026, and it's literally titled ca8210_set_hw_addr_filt(9) in the Kernel API Manual — iconic, no notes 🌟
