✨ ixgbe_verify_lesm_fw_enabled_82599 ✨

okay so bestie, we're in the Kernel API Manual today and this little function is called ixgbe_verify_lesm_fw_enabled_82599 — yes it's a whole mouthful, yes it ate, and yes it's about to check on the LESM FW module for you 💅

---

🎀 NAME 🎀

ixgbe_verify_lesm_fw_enabled_82599 — literally just checks the LESM FW module state. that's the whole vibe check, no cap.

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

bool ixgbe_verify_lesm_fw_enabled_82599 (struct ixgbe_hw *hw );

---

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• hw — pointer to hardware structure. give it the hardware, that's it, that's the whole ask 🫶

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so here's the tea: this function returns true if the LESM FW module is present and enabled. and if it's not? it returns false, periodt. no in-between, no "it's complicated".

⚠️ important lowkey warning: Smart Speed must be disabled if LESM FW module is enabled. like, that's not optional, bestie — those two do not coexist 💀
