ath5k_hw_set_antenna_switch(9)

🎀 NAME 🎀

okay so bestie, this is the Kernel API Manual entry for ath5k_hw_set_antenna_switch(9), and its whole job is literally “Set up antenna switch table.” That’s the name, that’s the vibe, no cap. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void ath5k_hw_set_antenna_switch (struct ath5k_hw *ah , u8 ee_mode );

It’s a void function, so no return value is doing a little main-character entrance here. 🫶

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• ah — the struct ath5k_hw. Like, the actual struct, bestie. 👑
• ee_mode — one of enum ath5k_driver_mode. Pick your enum era. 🌈

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

The switch table comes from EEPROM — yes, EEPROM is the source, periodt — and it includes information on controlling the 2 antenna RX attenuators. That’s the tea, and it’s lowkey iconic. 💖
