📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 e1000_phy_reset_dsp(9) — bestie edition 🎀

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual (yes, the whole manual, and yes you're gonna read it), and it's about a function called e1000_phy_reset_dsp. It's short. It's sweet. It's giving "one job and she does it." Let's go ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

e1000_phy_reset_dsp — reset DSP

Like... that's the whole name section. reset DSP. She said what she said, no cap.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

s32 e1000_phy_reset_dsp (struct e1000_hw *hw );

That's the whole call, bestie. Returns an s32 (so, a status code situation), takes one pointer, and that's it. She's low maintenance 💅

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

  • hw — a struct containing variables accessed by shared code. That's the one and only thing you hand her. If you're like "but what variables??" — the shared-code ones, babe, the ones everybody's touching. It's a whole group chat in a struct and she's reading the messages 👀

⭐ DESCRIPTION ⭐

So the actual description is one line and honestly iconic for it: this function resets the PHY's DSP.

That's it. That's the whole vibe. DSP? reset. No extra lore, no secret behaviour, no side quests. Do not invent lore that isn't here — iykyk 🫶

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

This is where it gets unhinged (affectionate) — the SEE ALSO list is the main character energy of this entire page. First up, the kernel file where all this lives:

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

and then the whole extended friend group, in the exact order the page gives them:

like... that's a lot of siblings. But every single one of them is on the list, so every single one of them gets her moment 🌈

ngl bestie, don't skip the SEE ALSO section when you're reading these pages — the cross-references are literally the map of the whole driver, and they're all here in the exact order this page gives them. 🧚

🫶 ok bye, here's the sign-off 🫶

That's the whole page, babes — short, sweet, and fully sourced. It comes to you from ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/e... (that's the source/version line, and yes it's abbreviated right there on the page, so I'm abbreviating it right back at you) and it's dated October 2026, and it's filed under e1000_phy_reset_dsp(9) one more time for the people in the back 💜

literally obsessed with how a page this tiny can have a reference list this long. slay, e1000_hw.c. periodt. 🍓👑
