pcmcia_get_mac_from_cis(9)

🎀 NAME 🎀

pcmcia_get_mac_from_cis(9) — this page is from the Kernel API Manual, and it's literally here to read out a MAC address from CISTPL_FUNCE, bestie. 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int pcmcia_get_mac_from_cis (struct pcmcia_device *p_dev , struct
       net_device *dev );

💅 ARGUMENTS 💅

• p_dev — the struct pcmcia_device you want the address for, periodt. 👑
• dev — a properly prepared struct net_device where the info gets stored. 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So pcmcia_get_mac_from_cis reads the hardware MAC address out of CISTPL_FUNCE and tucks it into struct net_device *dev->dev_addr. That dev_addr spot has to be set up properly by the driver, okay? Like, that part is not optional — see examples! 😭✨

Real talk: the driver has to set that dev_addr up properly — see examples! 💀
