ath5k_hw_start_rx_pcu(9)

okay so bestie, this lil page is from the Kernel API Manual, and it’s all about ath5k_hw_start_rx_pcu. Buckle up, it’s short but important 💖

✨ NAME ✨

ath5k_hw_start_rx_pcu — Start RX engine 🫶

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void ath5k_hw_start_rx_pcu (struct ath5k_hw *ah );

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

• ah — the struct ath5k_hw. That’s the hardware struct, bestie, it’s giving main character energy 👑

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

This starts the RX engine on the PCU so the hardware can process RXed frames (ACK etc). Literally that’s the whole vibe — once it’s on, the hardware can deal with frames it received. No cap ✨

🎀 NOTE 🎀

⚠️ RX DMA should already be enabled using ath5k_hw_start_rx_dma — so make sure that’s already done before you roll up here, bestie 😭
