ixgbe_get_s..._addr_offset(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 ixgbe_get_san_mac_addr_offset(9) — from the Kernel API Manual, bestie 🎀

okay so picture this: you're deep in the kernel, the manual is literally called Kernel API Manual, and you've stumbled onto this little icon. she's not flashy, but she works. let me introduce you 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

ixgbe_get_san_mac_addr_offset — bestie, this one grabs the SAN MAC address offset straight out of the EEPROM 💖 that's the whole gig. no cap.

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int ixgbe_get_san_mac_addr_offset (struct ixgbe_hw *hw , u16
*san_mac_offset );

look at her go 😭 so small, so mighty.

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • hw — a pointer to the hardware structure, iykyk. this is the ✨hardware✨ herself.
  • san_mac_offset — the SAN MAC address offset. that's the value she's handing back to you, bestie 💅

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

okay so here's the vibe: this function reads the EEPROM location that holds the SAN MAC address pointer, and then returns the value sitting at that location. the way that it's literally just "go to the spot, read the thing" — iconic, no notes 👑

and it's not a one-trick pony either: this is used in both the get and set mac_addr routines. so she's showing up to both functions, always on time, main character energy fr fr 🔥

first up, the source of truth herself — Kernel file ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ixgbe/ixgbe_common.c 💖

and now, the whole friend group 😭 like she literally knows everyone in ixgbe_common.c, gather round:

like. ninety-something besties. she's connected 💀👑

💀 lowkey a heads-up before you go: this page came from ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i... and it's dated October 2026. so if you're reading this from the future — hi, hope the EEPROM's doing well 🫶

that's the page bestie, go read your EEPROM, slay, periodt 🌈⭐💜
