wx_set_mac(9)

💖 wx_set_mac(9) — hi bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨

okay so picture this: you're deep in the kernel, the vibes are immaculate, and this little function — wx_set_mac — is your main character. its whole personality? changing the Ethernet Address of the NIC. that's it. that's the lore. 🦋

🌸 NAME 🌸

wx_set_mac — literally just Change the Ethernet Address of the NIC. no cap, that's the whole job description, and it ate. 👑

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int wx_set_mac (struct net_device *netdev , void *p );

look at her. so concise. so iconic. 💅

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• netdev — the network interface device structure, aka the whole entire moment. it's the struct net_device * bestie you're working on. 🫶
• p — pointer to an address structure. yes queen, hand over the address, it's giving "here's the new fit, go slay." 💖

---

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

Returns 0 on success, negative on failure. that's the whole thing, fr fr — zero is the slay, negative is the "not me, not today 💀". short and sweet and honestly kind of a vibe. 😭

ngl, bestie, that's genuinely all the original says. no extra lore, no hidden chapters. we do not invent.
