💖 igc_enable_mng_pass_thru(9) 💖

okay so bestie, this is the manual page for igc_enable_mng_pass_thru from the Kernel API Manual — and no cap, it's a whole vibe. it's basically the function that's like "hey, should we keep the interface up so management traffic can slide through?" ✨

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

bool igc_enable_mng_pass_thru(struct igc_hw *hw);

like, it returns a bool and takes one pointer, that's it, periodt 💅

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• hw — pointer to the HW structure. yes bestie, just a pointer to the hardware struct, she's the main character of this function 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so what does she actually do? she verifies the hardware needs to leave the interface enabled so that frames can be directed to and from the management interface. literally that's the whole thing — she's checking if management pass-thru should stay on so those frames can flow both ways. it's giving gatekeeper energy, but make it networking 💀✨
