ok real talk 💀 that footer at the bottom of the original page got cut off mid-path — it just says ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/f... — so that's the source/version bit, and it's dated October 2026. that's the whole sign-off bestie, we love a truncated path moment 🙈

k bye, go read your bits, ily 💜🧚‍♀️
