💖 e1000_get_li...info_ich8lan(9) 💖

okay so bestie, we are in the Kernel API Manual and this is genuinely one of those little networking functions that does exactly what it says on the tin, no cap. it's the ich8lan version of "hey, what's the link doing right now" and honestly? we love a straightforward icon. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

e1000_get_link_up_info_ich8lan — literally just grab the current link speed and duplex, that's the whole vibe 🫶

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

s32 e1000_get_link_up_info_ich8lan (struct e1000_hw *hw, u16 *speed,
    u16 *duplex);

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • hw — pointer to the HW structure 💅
  • speed — pointer to store current link speed
  • duplex — pointer to store the current link duplex

⭐ DESCRIPTION ⭐

so here's the tea ☕: it calls the generic get_speed_and_duplex to retrieve the current link information, and then it calls the Kumeran lock loss workaround for links at gigabit speeds. that's it. that's the whole function. short, sweet, and it ate. 🔥
