📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 ixgbe_clear_vmdq_82598(9) — the Kernel API Manual glow-up ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the ixgbe_clear_vmdq_82598(9) page — yes that's the whole name, it's giving "my parents gave me a government name" energy but we move 💖. This is a section 9 kernel API manual page, and honestly? it's short, it's sweet, and it's lowkey iconic for it.

✨ NAME ✨

ixgbe_clear_vmdq_82598 — disassociate a VMDq set index from an rx address 🫶

like, breaking up with the association. not ghosting, formally un-associating. periodt.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int ixgbe_clear_vmdq_82598 (struct ixgbe_hw *hw , u32 rar , u32 vmdq );

that's the whole vibe check right there — one function, three args, int return because of course 💀

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • hw — pointer to hardware struct 🖥️ the actual hardware bestie, we're just visiting.
  • rar — receive address register index to associate with a VMDq index 💌 (yes, the description says "associate" even though the function clears — we're just relaying the lore, don't come for me).
  • vmdq — VMDq clear index 🔥 and here's the tea: it's not used in 82598, but it is used elsewhere. so it's there, sitting pretty, doing nothing on this chip. main character energy with zero lines 🙈.

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

the whole squad, fr fr 👑 — go read these next, iykyk:

twenty-two siblings and every single one of them has 82598 in the name 😭 that's a family reunion and a half.

lowkey a warning-aside for you bestie: vmdq genuinely does nada on 82598. don't go looking for it to do something. it will not. 💀

and that's the page!! 🎀 source/version vibes come from ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i... (yes it's truncated in the footer, that's how it's printed, we respect it) and it's dated October 2026 — future girlies are still reading kernel API docs, slay 💜. bye bestie, go clear some vmdq!! ⭐
