STRUCT IWL_SAP_NOTIF_HOST_NIC_INFO(9)

💖 struct iwl_sap_notif_host_nic_info(9) — Kernel API Manual 💖

okay so bestie, we're in the Kernel API Manual today and this page is literally all about one lil' struct. grab a matcha, it's gonna be cute and also extremely specific 🍓

---

✨ NAME ✨

struct iwl_sap_notif_host_nic_info — it's the payload for %SAP_MSG_NOTIF_NIC_INFO, no cap 💅

Like, that's its whole job. It's the little bag of info that gets shipped inside a %SAP_MSG_NOTIF_NIC_INFO message. main character energy fr fr 👑

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct iwl_sap_notif_host_nic_info {
    struct iwl_sap_hdr hdr;
    u8 mac_address[6];
    u8 nvm_address[6];
 };

look at her. three fields. immaculate. 🎀

🦋 Members 🦋

• hdr — the SAP header, the little introductory moment at the top of the struct 💫
• mac_address — the MAC address as configured to the interface. iykyk, this is the one the interface is actually rockin' with.
• nvm_address — the MAC address as configured in the NVM. yes bestie there are two of them and no they are not necessarily the same, that's literally the whole point of listing both 😭
