💅 e1000_rar_set_vf(9) — like, the whole glow-up

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ this is the page for e1000_rar_set_vf, and yes it's a kernel function, yes it's giving driver-internals realness, and yes we're gonna get through it together 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

e1000_rar_set_vf — set device MAC address 🎀

that's it. that's the whole vibe. it sets the MAC address, periodt.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void e1000_rar_set_vf (struct e1000_hw *hw , u8 *addr , u32 index );

look at that signature, it's so clean 😭 returns void, takes three things, no drama, no surprises. iconic behavior honestly.

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

  • hw — pointer to the HW structure 🧚 this is your hardware-handle bestie, the thing you pass around so everyone knows which device we're talking about
  • addr — pointer to the receive address ⭐ the address itself lives here, pointed at, not copied
  • index — receive address array register 👑 which slot in the receive address array we're targeting, iykyk

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

first up, the actual source file, no cap:

  • Kernel file ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/igbvf/vf.c 🔥

and then the whole friend group, the entire squad of sibling functions — they all show up together, every single one:

like, they're all in the _vf cinematic universe and they all ate 💅

ngl bestie, keep that source path ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/igbvf/vf.c close — that's where the lore actually lives 📖

and that's the page! 💜 source and versioning come from that footer path ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i... (yes it's truncated on the original page too, we don't make the rules 🙈), dated October 2026, under the header e1000_rar_set_vf(9). slay, go read your kernel code, bye bestie 🎀🌈
