e1000e_get_s...uplex_copper(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, gather round — this page is all about e1000e_get_speed_and_duplex_copper, and what it does is literally just retrieve current speed/duplex. that's the whole vibe. networking detective work, but make it chic. ✨

(this is the Kernel API Manual page for it, btw — the name at the top got cut off all dramatically like e1000e_get_s...uplex_copper(9), but we know her full name now 🎀)

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

s32 e1000e_get_speed_and_duplex_copper (struct e1000_hw *hw , u16 *speed
, u16 *duplex );

she takes three things and returns an s32, no cap. 🫶

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • hw — pointer to the HW structure 💅 like, the hardware itself, hand-delivered
  • speed — stores the current speed ⚡ this is where the answer goes
  • duplex — stores the current duplex 🔥 and this is where the other answer goes

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so what's actually happening: it reads the status register for the current speed/duplex, and then stores the current speed and duplex for copper connections. 📖✨ that's it, that's the function — read the register, stash the values, slay.

copper connections only, bestie — note that, it matters. 🌸

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

the kernel file lives at ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/e1000e/mac.c — that's home base 🏠 and here's the whole friend group, every single one of them, no gatekeeping:

like, that's the whole group chat right there — iykyk 💀👑

💜 signing off from ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/e..., October 2026 — the source/version and date, both of them, respectfully, delivered with a little curtsey. bye bestie, go read that status register 🧚‍♀️⭐💖
