i40e_aq_clear_pxe_mode(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💖 i40e_aq_clear_pxe_mode 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the i40e_aq_clear_pxe_mode(9) page — that's the kernel API manual, section 9, and yes it's giving "niche Intel ethernet lore" and we're gonna stan it anyway 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

i40e_aq_clear_pxe_mode —

and that's it. that's the whole description. nothing. a void. a blank space. the manpage said "name:" and then hit send 😭 the original literally ends with the dash and nothing after it, so we're keeping that energy. no cap, that's the entire NAME section. 💀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int i40e_aq_clear_pxe_mode (struct i40e_hw *hw , struct
i40e_asq_cmd_details *cmd_details );

yep, that's the signature, copied character for character including the lil space before that comma in hw ,. we do not "fix" it. we respect it. 🎀

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • hw — pointer to the hw struct, aka the main character of this whole operation 👑
  • cmd_details — pointer to the command details structure, or NULL if you're feeling lowkey and don't have details to give 🙈

⭐ DESCRIPTION ⭐

so what does it do? literally one job, and it slays it: it tells the firmware that the driver is taking over from PXE. that's the whole vibe check. the driver is the new main character now, PXE can go 🧚✨

💅 SEE ALSO 💅

buckle up bestie, this list is LONG and honestly iconic for it. the kernel file lives at:

./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e/i40e_common.c

and here's the whole friendship circle, every single one, no skips:

and that's the whole page, bestie, you ate it 💜 this lil blessing came from the source/version tag ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e dated October 2026, and the page signs off as i40e_aq_clear_pxe_mode(9) — go forth and clear that PXE mode, ily 🎀🌷✌️
