π bnx2x_link_set β the Kernel API Manual page you didn't know you needed
okay so bestie, welcome to the bnx2x_link_set(9) page from the Kernel API Manual β¨ this one's short and sweet but she's important, so let's get into it π
πΈ NAME πΈ
bnx2x_link_set β configure hw according to link parameters structure. that's it, that's the whole job π
β¨ SYNOPSIS β¨
void bnx2x_link_set (struct bnx2x *bp );
like, look at her. no return value, she just does things. main character energy fr fr π
π¦ ARGUMENTS π¦
bpβ driver handle. that's your whole personality right there, she needs it to know which driver she's working with π«Ά
π₯ SEE ALSO π₯
this is the part where the page just. keeps. going. like a group chat that never dies π but every single one of these matters, no cap. go read them, bestie:

ngl that's a lot of cross-references but she's a networking driver, everything is connected to everything, iykyk π
and that's the whole page, bestie π short, iconic, done. this lil rewrite came from source ./drivers/net/ethernet/broadco... and it's dated October 2026 β go forth and configure that hw, you absolute legend π§π periodt.
