📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💖 ixgbe_shift_in_eeprom_bits(9) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — yes we're in the kernel now, put your hair up 🎀 This one is ixgbe_shift_in_eeprom_bits, and it is literally exactly what it sounds like: shifting bits in from the EEPROM. Iconic little guy. Let's get into it ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

ixgbe_shift_in_eeprom_bits — Shift data bits in from the EEPROM 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

u16 ixgbe_shift_in_eeprom_bits (struct ixgbe_hw *hw , u16 count );

that's it. that's the whole vibe check. returns a u16, takes two things, slays 💅

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

  • hw — pointer to hardware structure. yes girl, the actual hardware. you're holding the whole struct in your hands, main character energy 👑
  • count — number of bits to shift. so like, how many bits are we shifting? this many. no cap 🔥

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

first up, the kernel file this lives in:

  • Kernel file ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ixgbe/ixgbe_common.c 📁

and now the friend group, fr fr — every single one of these, in order, no skipping 🙈:

ngl bestie that's a lot of EEPROM functions. ixgbe_shift_out_eeprom_bits(9) is literally right there if you need the opposite direction — iykyk 💀

and that's the page!! mwah 💋 source/version vibes come from ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i... (they cut it off, tragic, but that's what it says 🙈) and it's dated October 2026, all wrapped up under ixgbe_shift_in_eeprom_bits(9). go shift those bits, queen 🧚💜
