okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual β¨ this is the little corner of the kernel docs where we talk about one very specific gigabit-ethernet helper function, and honestly? she's niche, she's iconic, she's doing her job. let's get into it π«Ά
πΈ NAME πΈ
e1000_cfg_kmrn_1000_80003es2lan β the one that applies the "quirks" for gigabit operation π
(yes, "quirks" is in quotes in the official docs, we're being fancy AND honest)
β¨ SYNOPSIS β¨
s32 e1000_cfg_kmrn_1000_80003es2lan (struct e1000_hw *hw );
that's the whole call, no cap. one pointer, one s32 coming back at you π¦
π ARGUMENTS π
hwβ pointer to the HW structure. just a lil pointer to your hardware struct, lowkey the main character of this whole function π
π« DESCRIPTION π«
so what does she do? she configures the KMRN interface by applying last minute quirks for gigabit operation. that's it, that's the whole vibe.
literally "last minute" β like she's doing her makeup in the car on the way there π the KMRN interface gets its final touch-ups for gigabit operation right before it needs to go, and this function is the one holding the brush. slay.
ngl it's a small function, but somebody had to do it, and today that somebody is e1000_cfg_kmrn_1000_80003es2lan. periodt. π
