ENUM IWL_SAP_NIC_OWNER(9)

🎀 NAME

enum iwl_sap_nic_owner — the enum that's used by %SAP_MSG_NOTIF_NIC_OWNER ✨ (yes, that's the whole job, and she's serving it)

This is from the Kernel API Manual, bestie, volume nine of the manuals 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS

okay so here's the whole shape of it, and ngl it's short and sweet:

enum iwl_sap_nic_owner {
    SAP_NIC_OWNER_UNKNOWN ,
    SAP_NIC_OWNER_HOST ,
    SAP_NIC_OWNER_ME

};

like... three options, one of them is a decoy 🙈 iykyk

---

💅 Constants

bestie these are the three members, and the lore is wild:

• SAP_NIC_OWNER_UNKNOWN — literally not used. that's it. that's the whole description. she's giving placeholder energy 💀
• SAP_NIC_OWNER_HOST — the host owns the NIC 👑 the host is the main character here, fr fr
• SAP_NIC_OWNER_ME — CSME owns the NIC 🫶 so if you see this one, it's not the host holding the aux cord, it's CSME 😭

🌸 tiny vibe check: the three of them are SAP_NIC_OWNER_UNKNOWN, SAP_NIC_OWNER_HOST, and SAP_NIC_OWNER_ME — copy them exactly, no renaming, no "fixing" the spelling. periodt.

okay that's the whole page, bestie 💖 this little number ships out of ./drivers/net/wireless/intel/i... and is dated October 2026 — yes, the footer literally truncates the path like that, she's mysterious like that 🌈 mwah, go read the rest of the SAP saga, ily 🫶
