💅 e1000_init_eeprom_params — a Kernel API Manual moment (9)

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for e1000_init_eeprom_params — yes that's a whole mouthful, we love her anyway 💖

✨ NAME ✨

e1000_init_eeprom_params — initialize sw eeprom vars 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

s32 e1000_init_eeprom_params (struct e1000_hw *hw );

like... that's it. that's the whole signature. slay 💅

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • hw — a struct containing variables accessed by shared code. yes it's giving "vaguely ominous but it's fine" energy, but that's literally what it is ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so what does she do? she sets up the eeprom variables inside the hw struct. that's the vibe. that's the whole job 🌈

⚠️ ok important bestie — it must be called after mac_type is configured. not before. after. no cap, this is not a suggestion, she needs that mac_type already set or you're gonna have a bad time fr fr 💀

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

okay so first up, the kernel file she lives in:

  • Kernel file ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/e1000/e1000_hw.c

and now the entire friend group — every one of these, no skips, no cap, we're listing all 78 of them because they all get a shoutout 💜✨

and that's the page, bestie 🧚✨ hope eeprom params are now your roman empire. go configure that mac_type first, ok? 💖

signed off with love from ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/e..., dated October 2026, e1000_init_eeprom_params(9), live from the Kernel API Manual 🎀👑
