STRUCT IWL_PROTO_OFFLOAD_CMD_COMMON(9)

💖 struct iwl_proto_offload_cmd_common — Kernel API Manual 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the manual page for struct iwl_proto_offload_cmd_common, which is literally the "ARP/NS offload common part" — the shared little squad of fields that all the proto offload command versions have in common. no cap, that's the whole vibe. 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's the shape of it, exactly as it lives, do not come for me about the indentation:

struct iwl_proto_offload_cmd_common {
    __le32 enabled;
    __be32 remote_ipv4_addr;
    __be32 host_ipv4_addr;
    u8 arp_mac_addr[ETH_ALEN];
    __le16 reserved;
 };

🎀 reminder that __le32 is little-endian and __be32 is big-endian, so those two are not the same vibe, bestie. they are different. respect the byte order.

🌸 Members 🌸

each field gets her moment, periodt:

• enabled — the enable flags. it's giving "am I on or am I off" energy. ✨
• remote_ipv4_addr — the remote address to answer to (or zero if all). so like, if you want everyone to get a reply, you literally just leave it at zero. main character of "anyone can pull up".
• host_ipv4_addr — our IPv4 address to respond to queries for. this is our address, the one we're out here defending. 🫶
• arp_mac_addr — our MAC address for ARP responses. this is the fit we show up in when ARP comes knocking. u8 arp_mac_addr[ETH_ALEN], iconic. 👑
• reserved — unused. she's just there holding space, and honestly? we stan a __le16 who knows her role is to be padding. 💀

and that's the page, bestie!! source is ./drivers/net/wireless/intel/i... (the manual truncated it, not me, blame the terminal width 😭) and it's dated October 2026 — so she's from the future, slay. 💜✨
