STRUCT IWL_PROTO_OFFLOAD_CMD_V1(9)

🦋 struct iwl_proto_offload_cmd_v1(9) 🦋

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ — this little cutie lives in the Linux kernel docs, and today we're deep-diving struct iwl_proto_offload_cmd_v1 because she is the ARP/NS offload configuration struct and she deserves her moment 💅

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

struct iwl_proto_offload_cmd_v1 — ARP/NS offload configuration 🎀

like, literally the struct that holds your offload config for ARP and neighbor solicitation. that's her whole job. iconic.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct iwl_proto_offload_cmd_v1 {
    struct iwl_proto_offload_cmd_common common;
    u8 remote_ipv6_addr[16];
    u8 solicited_node_ipv6_addr[16];
    u8 target_ipv6_addr[IWL_PROTO_OFFLOAD_NUM_IPV6_ADDRS_V1][16];
    u8 ndp_mac_addr[ETH_ALEN];
    __le16 reserved2;
 };

no cap, that's the whole layout. copy it exactly if you're typing it out, bestie, don't get creative 🙈

💖 Members 💖

• common — the common/IPv4 configuration 🫶 she's the shared part, the main character of the config block.
• remote_ipv6_addr — the remote address to answer to (or zero if all) ✨ so if you want her answering everyone, you zero her out. yes ma'am, that's the rule.
• solicited_node_ipv6_addr — ok so this one is broken 💀 — a solicited node address exists for each target address, so the whole "one field for it" thing lowkey doesn't work. the docs literally call her broken, I'm just the messenger 😭
• target_ipv6_addr — our target addresses 🌈 that's us, that's our vibe, our addresses.
• ndp_mac_addr — the neighbor solicitation response MAC address 🎀 the MAC we clap back with.
• reserved2 — reserved ⭐ nothing to see here, she's just holding space for the future.

ngl the solicited_node_ipv6_addr situation is a real bug note in the docs — the field is documented as broken because a solicited node address exists per target address. don't try to "fix" it in your head, just know it 🫶

k that's the whole page, no skips, no crumbs left behind 💜 this drop is straight from the Kernel API Manual (that's the manual name, in case you were wondering 🧚), sourced from ./drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlwifi/fw/api/d3.h, dated October 2026, and she's filed under struct iwl_proto_offload_cmd_v1(9) — slay, bye bestie! 💅✨
