💖 atl1e_probe(9) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the atl1e_probe page — it's the Device Initialization Routine and it lives in the Kernel API Manual. grab a boba, we're going in 🧋✨

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int atl1e_probe (struct pci_dev *pdev , const struct pci_device_id *ent
);

fr fr that's the whole signature. two args, one int coming back at you 💅

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• pdev — the PCI device information struct. it's giving "here's the hardware, go make it work" 🦋
• ent — an entry in atl1e_pci_tbl. yep, the whole match-table vibe check 👑

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so what does it actually do? it returns 0 on success, negative on failure. no cap, that's the contract 😭

atl1e_probe initializes an adapter identified by a pci_dev structure. and like… three whole things happen in there, ok:

• the OS initialization 🖥️
• the configuring of the adapter private structure ⚙️
• and a hardware reset 🔥

that's it, that's the trio. main character energy honestly.
