ixgbe_configure_bridge_mode(9)

💅 ixgbe_configure_bridge_mode — NAME

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual (section 9, we're fancy like that) ✨. This page is all about ixgbe_configure_bridge_mode — the function that sets various bridge modes 🎀.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int ixgbe_configure_bridge_mode (struct ixgbe_adapter *adapter , __u16
mode );

That's the whole vibe: it takes your adapter and a mode, and hands you back an int. Clean, simple, iconic 👑.

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• adapter — the private structure, i.e. your little ixgbe home base 🏠, literally where all the personal stuff lives.
• mode — the requested bridge mode 🌉, aka the mode you're asking for. You pick it, it gets configured.

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Configure some settings that are required for various bridge modes 💅. That's it, that's the whole plot — different bridge modes each need their own little setup treatment, and this is the function that handles it. No cap 🫶.

little sign-off note: this page comes from ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i... (the path gets cut off in the footer, that's just how the footer lives, no drama 🌈) and it's dated October 2026. The manual entry it belongs to is ixgbe_configure_bridge_mode(9) 💖. That's the tea, go configure some bridge modes bestie, periodt 🎀✨
