📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💖 b43_phy_init 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — this one's a lil function page and it's short but she's important, so pay attention 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

b43_phy_init — literally just: initialise the PHY. that's the whole vibe. the PHY gets initialised, and you're the one doing it 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int b43_phy_init (struct b43_wldev *dev);

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • dev — okay so bestie, the original page literally says -- undescribed -- 😭 like they just did not fill this one in. so ngl, all we know is it's the struct b43_wldev *. that's it. that's the whole description. iconic of the kernel docs fr fr 🙈

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

okay this is the part where the page goes off — she has a whole friend group and you're gonna meet every single one of them 🌈

first, the home base:

  • Kernel file ./drivers/net/wireless/broadcom/b43/phy_common.h

then the enums and structs, the main characters:

  • enum b43_interference_mitigation(9)
  • enum b43_txpwr_result(9)
  • struct b43_phy_operations(9)

now the life-cycle girlies — allocate, free, exit:

then we got a power-control check:

the phy register crew, they're a package deal 💜:

and the radio register crew, same energy but for the radio side 📻:

the locking besties 🔒:

then the odds and ends, all still invited to the group chat:

no cap, that's all of them — count 'em if you want, I did 💀 every single one from the original list is up there, i checked twice 🍓

🌟 a lil sign-off 🌟

so yeah, that's the page! source is ./drivers/net/wireless/broadco... and the date on this beauty is October 2026. go forth, initialise that PHY, and remember: main character energy only 👑💖✨

you're gonna slay, bestie 🧚💅
