✨ NAME ✨

e1000_check_mng_mode_82574 — bestie, this one checks whether manageability is enabled 💅

(this is straight out of the Kernel API Manual, btw, so you know it's legit 🫶)

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

bool e1000_check_mng_mode_82574 (struct e1000_hw *hw );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • hw — pointer to the HW structure 🧚 literally the hardware struct, she needs it, don't ask questions

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Okay so here's the vibe: this function reads the NVM Initialization Control Word 2, and then it's giving verdict. If any manageability is enabled it returns true (>0), otherwise it returns false (0).

That's it. That's the whole function. Lowkey iconic for how tiny it is 🔥
