e1000_copper_link_autoneg(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💖 NAME 💖

okay so this is e1000_copper_link_autoneg(9) from the Kernel API Manual, bestie — and it is literally setup/enable autoneg for copper link. That’s the whole name, and it already ate. ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here’s the signature, exactly as it is, no cap:

s32 e1000_copper_link_autoneg (struct e1000_hw *hw );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • hw — pointer to the HW structure. just a pointer to the hardware struct, bestie. 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so what does it actually do? first it performs initial bounds checking on the autoneg advertisement parameter — think of it as a vibe check before the real work. then it configures stuff to advertise the full capability. it sets up the PHY to autoneg and restarts the negotiation process between the link partner. 🔥

and if autoneg_wait_to_complete, then it waits for autoneg to complete before exiting. no ghosting the negotiation, periodt. 💅

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

first, the kernel file:

  • ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/e1000e/phy.c — the kernel file, iykyk.

then the whole squad of related functions:

and that’s the whole page, bestie! the source/version path on the footer is ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/e... and the date is October 2026, and yes, the page is still e1000_copper_link_autoneg(9). go off, monarch 💖✨🎀🦋
