okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ this is the page for sxgbe_set_rx_mode, and yes it's a whole driver entry point, no cap 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

sxgbe_set_rx_mode — the entry point for setting the different receive modes of a device. unicast, multicast addressing 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void sxgbe_set_rx_mode (struct net_device *dev );

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

  • dev — pointer to the device structure. that's it, that's the whole argument list, she's low maintenance 💅

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

okay so here's the vibe: this function is a driver entry point, which means it's the function the kernel literally calls whenever a different receive mode — like unicast, multicast and promiscuous — has to be enabled or disabled. the kernel hits her up, she handles the mode switch, everyone moves on ✨

Return value: void. she gives you literally nothing back and honestly? iconic. no return value, no drama, periodt 👑
