πŸ’– wx_init_rx_addrs(9) πŸ’–

okay so we're in the Kernel API Manual bestie, and today's main character is wx_init_rx_addrs β€” the little routine that sets up your receive address filters before the party starts πŸŽ€


✨ NAME ✨

wx_init_rx_addrs β€” Initializes receive address filters. that's it, that's the vibe πŸ’…


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void wx_init_rx_addrs (struct wx *wx );

no return value, no drama, just vibes ✨


πŸ¦‹ ARGUMENTS πŸ¦‹

  • wx β€” pointer to hardware structure 🫢 (yes queen, hand over the hardware struct and let her cook)

πŸŽ€ DESCRIPTION πŸŽ€

okay so picture this: the function takes the MAC address and places it in receive address register 0 πŸ‘‘ like it's getting the VIP seat, and then it clears the rest of the receive address registers β€” everyone else out of the club, respectfully πŸšͺ✨

then it clears the multicast table. bye bestie 🫢

⚠️ and here's the important bit: this whole thing assumes the receiver is in reset when the routine is called. like, do not skip that part, it's fr fr not optional 😭 reset first, then call her.
