velocity_set_wol(9)

💖 velocity_set_wol(9) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — this is velocity_set_wol(9), and it's honestly such a little icon. we're in kernel-land, section 9, and this page is short but it delivers. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

velocity_set_wol — set up for wake on lan 🌙⚡

like, the whole vibe is: make your NIC wake up from its little nap. nap time is over, periodt.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int velocity_set_wol (struct velocity_info *vptr );

(yes, the space before the closing paren is canon, don't come for me 💅)

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• vptr — the velocity we're setting the WOL status on. that's it, that's the whole argument list. she's low maintenance, we love her 🫶

---

🧚 DESCRIPTION 🧚

Set a card up for wake on lan either by unicast or by ARP packet. 💌

so basically: your network card gets to be the main character even when the machine is asleep, and it wakes up for either a unicast packet or an ARP packet. it's giving "i'm resting but i'm still listening." 🔥

⚠️ FIXME: check static buffer is safe here. not me pointing at the static buffer like 👀 — this is a real note in the source, so keep an eye on it, no cap. it's an open question, not a promise. 💀

and that's the page, bestie!! 🎀 source path is ./drivers/net/ethernet/via, dated October 2026, and the manual name is velocity_set_wol(9) in case you forgot already 🙈 — go wake some lan, ily, bye!! 💖✨
