💅 e1000_copper_link_rtl_setup — a lil' Kernel API Manual moment 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for e1000_copper_link_rtl_setup(9) — yes the whole thing is literally named that, no we are not shortening it, it's iconic and it knows it. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

e1000_copper_link_rtl_setup — Copper link setup for the e1000_phy_rtl series. That's it, that's the whole vibe. 🦋

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

s32 e1000_copper_link_rtl_setup (struct e1000_hw *hw );

she takes one pointer and returns an s32, periodt. ⭐

---

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

• hw — the struct holding all the variables that get accessed by shared code. literally the main character of this function, everything lives in there. 👑

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

So what does she do? She commits your changes to the PHY configuration by calling e1000_phy_reset. that's the whole job. no cap, that's it — she's the "okay bestie, go ahead and actually apply that" step. 💅
