e1000_setup...r_link_82571(9)

💖 NAME 💖

okay bestie, welcome to e1000_setup...r_link_82571(9) — the Kernel API Manual page for e1000_setup_copper_link_82571, aka the copper-link setup girlie. Her whole job? Configure copper link settings. slay.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

s32 e1000_setup_copper_link_82571 (struct e1000_hw *hw );

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• hw — pointer to the HW structure. like, hand her the hardware struct pointer and she’ll take it from there 💅

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

So basically: this function configures the link for auto-neg or forced speed and duplex. Then we check for link. Once link is established, calls to configure collision distance and flow control are called. That’s the whole storyline — no cap 🎀
