ixgbe_led_off_t_x550em(9)
π NAME π
okay so this page is ixgbe_led_off_t_x550em(9) from the Kernel API Manual, and bestieβ¦ it does exactly what it says on the tin: it turns off the software controllable LEDs. that's it. that's the whole gig. the little blinky lights on your NIC? this function is the one that says "lights out, babe" π‘β‘οΈπ and honestly? iconic behavior. no cap.
β¨ SYNOPSIS β¨
int ixgbe_led_off_t_x550em (struct ixgbe_hw *hw , u32 led_idx );
literally the whole signature, copied exactly character for character, spaces before the commas and all β don't @ me, that's how the original rolls π«Ά
π ARGUMENTS π
hwβ pointer to hardware structure. it's giving "here's the actual NIC, go talk to it" energy. you hand over the struct, the function does the rest πled_idxβ led number to turn off. yes, which one. there's more than one LED possible, bestie, so you gotta be specific. this is the "pick your fighter" part of the process πΈ
π¦ SEE ALSO π¦
okay this list is long long. the original drops sixty cross-references on you and I am NOT about to skip a single one, because every single one is part of the family. go read them. all of them. think of it as a group chat you were just added to π
also worth shouting out: this whole thing lives in the kernel file ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ixgbe/ixgbe_x550.c π

and yeah β ixgbe_led_on_t_x550em(9) is right there in the list, which is lowkey the funniest possible neighbor for a "turn it off" function. they're roommates. opposites. main character and their rival π
π the sign-off π
bestie you made it to the bottom, I'm so proud π this page comes to you sourced from ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i... (yes, it's literally truncated in the original β that's not me being lazy, that's the actual footer, keep it) and dated October 2026, all under the title ixgbe_led_off_t_x550em(9). go forth, turn those LEDs off, and slay πβ¨π
