igb_set_fw_version(9)

💖 igb_set_fw_version(9) — like, the igb kernel API manual, bestie ✨

Okay so before we even start: this is section 9 of the kernel API manual, the igb one, the Ethernet driver for Intel hardware, living its best life. And today's main character is igb_set_fw_version — she configures the version string for ethtool. That's it, that's the whole plot 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

igb_set_fw_version — configure version string for ethtool 💅

Yes bestie, that's the entire job description. She sets the firmware version string so ethtool can show it off. Small function, big "I'm the reason your tooling looks cute" energy.

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void igb_set_fw_version (struct igb_adapter *adapter );

Notice the void? She returns nothing. She does her thing and dips. No cap, zero notes, no returning a value to argue with. Periodt.

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• adapter — the adapter struct 🫶 that's it. That's the only thing you hand her. One (1) argument, and it's the adapter struct, and we love a low-maintenance queen.

💀 Friendly reminder bestie: every function above is section (9) and that (9) is part of the name, so don't be out here dropping it. Iykyk.

🧚 cute lil sign-off 🧚

That's the whole page, and honestly? Ate. 🍓

This little gem lives with the rest of the igb crew over in ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/igb, the page itself is dated October 2026, and it's filed under Kernel API Manual as igb_set_fw_version(9) — so if you need to find her again, that's exactly where she'll be, being iconic and setting that ethtool version string. 💜🦋🌸
