efx_filter_set_eth_local(9)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so bestie, meet efx_filter_set_eth_local from the Kernel API Manual — it's the function that says “specify local Ethernet address and/or VID” and honestly that's the whole assignment. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int efx_filter_set_eth_local (struct efx_filter_spec *spec , u16 vid ,
       const u8 *addr );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• spec — the specification to initialise. This is your main-character struct, so hand it over ready to be set up. 🫶
• vid — the outer VLAN ID to match, or EFX_FILTER_VID_UNSPEC if you're not pinning down a VLAN. No cap, that constant is your “unspecified” escape hatch. ✨
• addr — the local Ethernet MAC address, or NULL. Yes, NULL is allowed here — it's right there in the original, bestie. 🦋
