ice_aq_clear_pxe_mode(9)

okay so bestie, today we're reading ice_aq_clear_pxe_mode(9) from the Kernel API Manual — and honestly? iconic little page. It's short, it's sweet, it's giving "one job and she does it." Let's get into it. 💅

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

ice_aq_clear_pxe_mode — and that's literally it. The description after the dash is blank. Nothing. Silence. It's giving "no thoughts, head empty," but honestly the function name is self-explanatory so we move. 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int ice_aq_clear_pxe_mode (struct ice_hw *hw );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• hw — a pointer to the HW struct. That's the hardware struct, bestie, the whole vibe of the physical device. You hand it over and she goes. 🦋

---

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

So what does this actually do? It tells the firmware that the driver is taking over from PXE. That's it. That's the whole personality.

The message is tagged with 0x0110, so the firmware knows exactly what's up — driver's in charge now, PXE era is over, periodt.
