e1000e_confi...dist_generic(9)

💅 NAME 💅

e1000e_config_collision_dist_generic — bestie, this one configures the collision distance. That's it, that's the vibe. (And yes, we're living in the Kernel API Manual, so act accordingly ✨)

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void e1000e_config_collision_dist_generic (struct e1000_hw *hw );

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• hw — pointer to the HW structure 🫶 that's your hardware hangout spot, hand it over and we'll do the thing.

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so real talk: this function sets the collision distance to the default value 💅. And like, it's used during link setup — so it's very much a "behind the scenes making the link happen" moment. No cap, that's the whole job. Iconic, lowkey essential, does exactly one thing and does it well 🌈.

💖 That's the whole page bestie, go forth and configure that collision distance.

Sign-off szn 🧚: this little masterpiece comes from the source ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/e..., dated October 2026, and it's filed under e1000e_confi...dist_generic(9) — yes the title got truncated, no we don't know why, and honestly? We're slaying anyway 💀💅👑
