e1000_reset_hw_ich8lan(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 e1000_reset_hw_ich8lan — a whole kernel manual page, bestie

Okay so this is <pink>e1000_reset_hw_ich8lan</pink>, straight out of the Kernel API Manual. Yes, that's the manual name, and yes, it's a whole section 9 situation — we're in kernel-API territory now, so hydrate and pay attention 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

e1000_reset_hw_ich8lan — the function that resets the hardware. That's it. That's the whole vibe. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

s32 e1000_reset_hw_ich8lan (struct e1000_hw *hw );

Like, copy that exactly, character for character — spaces and all — because it's the actual signature, not a suggestion 💖

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • hw — a pointer to the HW structure. That's the one thing you gotta hand it. No hw, no reset, no nothing. 🦋

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

So what does it actually do? It does a full reset of the hardware, and just to be clear, "full" is doing a lot of work in that sentence — the reset includes a reset of the PHY and a reset of the MAC. Both. Together. One call. 😭👑

Like, the function is not out here doing half a job — it's the whole reset package, bestie. PHY gets reset, MAC gets reset, hardware gets reset. Periodt.

Ngl, "reset the hardware" sounds simple until you remember it's resetting the PHY and the MAC in the same breath — that's main character energy, fr fr.

And then… the friend group. The whole group chat. Every single one of these is a legit cross-reference, so here they all are, exactly as listed, no cap:

That's the whole squad. Go read them if you want the full lore, iykyk 🌈⭐

And that's the page, bestie! This iconic little entry comes to you from source ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/e... and it's dated October 2026 — and yes, the page itself is e1000_reset_hw_ich8lan(9), in case you forgot where you were 💜

Now go reset some hardware. Slay. 💅✨
