🫶 e1000_setup..._80003es2lan(9) — the Kernel API Manual moment

okay so bestie, this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual and it's all about one lil function that does Copper Link setup for ESB2. yes, copper. like the metal. no cap. let's get into it 💅

---

🌸 NAME

e1000_setup_copper_link_80003es2lan — Setup Copper Link for ESB2</p> ✨

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS

s32 e1000_setup_copper_link_80003es2lan (struct e1000_hw *hw );

that's it. that's the whole vibe check. returns s32, takes one pointer. iconic.

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS

• hw — pointer to the HW structure 🫶 (yes, the whole hardware struct, she's holding it)

---

💖 DESCRIPTION

so basically this function is essentially a wrapper for setting up all things "copper" related. lowkey a little delegator. she doesn't do the whole thing herself, she just makes sure all the copper stuff gets handled. 🌈

and the important detail: this is a function pointer entry point called by the mac module. so like, mac calls it through a pointer, she's on the roster, ready to be invoked. main character energy fr fr 👑
