igc_set_mac(9)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, gather round — this is igc_set_mac in the Kernel API Manual and it's literally the function that changes the Ethernet Address of the NIC ✨ like it's giving "glow-up for your network card's identity" and honestly? iconic 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

int igc_set_mac (struct net_device *netdev , void *p );

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• netdev — the network interface device structure, aka the whole entire vibe of the NIC you're messing with 🫶
• p — a pointer to an address structure, no cap, that's where the new address lives ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So like, the way this works is: it returns 0 on success, and negative on failure 😭 periodt. That's the whole energy. Success = 0, flop = negative. iykyk 💀

like I said. a lot. it's giving main character energy in the best way possible 😌💜

okay bye bestie, sending u all my love from ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/igc — this one dropped in October 2026, so remember us when you're out there changing MACs 🌈💖 mwah! 🫶✨
