i40e_aq_set_...misc_on_vlan(9)

✨ i40e_aq_set_...misc_on_vlan ✨

okay so this page lives in the Kernel API Manual and it's all about one tiny little function from the i40e driver. bestie, it's a short one, but we're gonna treat it with the respect it deserves 💅

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

i40e_aq_set_vsi_bc_promisc_on_vlan — and that's literally it, that's the whole NAME section. the upstream page ends with a dangling dash like it was gonna say something and then got distracted. iconic of it, honestly 🎀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int i40e_aq_set_vsi_bc_promisc_on_vlan (struct i40e_hw *hw , u16 seid ,
bool enable , u16 vid , struct i40e_asq_cmd_details *cmd_details );

---

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• hw — pointer to the hw struct. the main character of the whole driver, no cap 👑
• seid — the vsi number. u16, so keep it smol and valid.
• enable — sets broadcast promiscuous enable/disable for a given VLAN. flip it on, flip it off, you're the vibe controller now ⭐
• vid — the VLAN tag filter. it captures any broadcast packet rockin' this VLAN tag 🏷️
• cmd_details — pointer to the command details structure, or NULL. NULL is a perfectly valid choice, we don't judge 🫶

🎀 the sign-off 🎀

this little page ships out of ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i40e, and it's dated October 2026 — yeah, a whole future vibe. anyway go forth and set that broadcast promiscuous flag on your VLAN, bestie, you're gonna slay 💜🧚✨
