igb_rar_set(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 igb_rar_set — like, the Kernel API Manual page for setting a receive address register ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to igb_rar_set(9) from the Kernel API Manual 🎀 this one is short and sweet and honestly kind of a slay — it's giving "tiny function, big responsibility."

✨ NAME ✨

igb_rar_set — Set receive address register 🌸

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void igb_rar_set (struct e1000_hw *hw , u8 *addr , u32 index );

like, that's the whole vibe. void return, three args, no notes 💅

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • hw — pointer to the HW structure 🫶 it's the hardware situation, okay, she's the main character here
  • addr — pointer to the receive address 💖 this is the address you're gonna be setting things to
  • index — receive address array register 🔥 the slot in the receive address array that you're writing into

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

So here's the tea, bestie: igb_rar_set sets the receive address array register at index to the address you passed in by addr 💫

That's it. That's the whole function. Not me expecting a whole dramatic backstory and getting one (1) single clean sentence 😭 iconic behavior honestly.

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

okay so the reference list here is genuinely massive and I respect it so much. The kernel file lives at ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/igb/e1000_mac.c 🍓 and then, in order, no skipping, we've got:

ngl that's a whole friend group and every single one of them ate 🫶 go read them too, iykyk 💜

lowkey reminder: this page comes from ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/igb, dated October 2026 — that's the source/version vibe and the date, bestie, so now you know exactly where she's from 💫

k bye, go set some receive address array registers, periodt 🧚‍♀️✨
