e1000_detect_gig_phy(9)

💅 e1000_detect_gig_phy(9) — Kernel API Manual 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for e1000_detect_gig_phy(9). This one is short, iconic, and very “I have one job and I’m gonna do it.” ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

e1000_detect_gig_phy — check the phy type. That's the name, that's the assignment, periodt. 💖

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

The synopsis is literally this, character for character:

s32 e1000_detect_gig_phy (struct e1000_hw *hw );

---

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

One argument, bestie, and it's got main-character energy:

• hw — Struct containing variables accessed by shared code. Slay. 💅

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so the description is short and iconic: it probes the expected PHY address for known PHY IDs. That's it. That's the whole mission. It's giving PHY detective energy, and we're obsessed. 🔥
