pch_gbe_mac_mar_set(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 pch_gbe_mac_mar_set — from the Kernel API Manual, bestie ✨

Okay so picture this: we're deep in the kernel, in the pch_gbe driver, and this lil function is the one that goes and writes your MAC address into a register. That's it, that's the whole vibe. Set MAC address register — short, sweet, iconic. 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

Not me about to hand you the exact signature, character for character, because we do not paraphrase here:

void pch_gbe_mac_mar_set (struct pch_gbe_hw *hw , u8 * addr , u32 index );

Returns void, meaning it gives you nothing back — no status, no little treat, just vibes and a side effect. 🫶

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

Three of them, and every single one matters, so let's do a vibe check on each:

  • hw — Pointer to the HW structure. This is the main character of the whole show — the hardware struct everything else hangs off of. 👑
  • addr — Pointer to the MAC address. The actual address bytes you're shoving into the register, lowkey the whole point of the function.
  • index — MAC address array register. Which slot in the MAC address array register party you're writing to. 🎀

Every name up there is copied exactly, so don't come for me if you typo one — that's a you problem, bestie. 🙈

Okay that's the whole page, and honestly? Ate. 💅 Signing off with the source line the original was rocking: ./drivers/net/ethernet/oki-sem... — from the Kernel API Manual crew, October 2026, filed forever under pch_gbe_mac_mar_set(9). 🦋✨💖
