e1000e_update_adaptive(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 e1000e_update_adaptive — ok so let me tell you about this kernel function 🎀

Bestie. Welcome to the e1000e_update_adaptive(9) page from the Kernel API Manual. Yes it's a manpage, no it's not boring, because I'm about to make it make sense. Pull up a chair, hydrate, and let's go 💖

✨ NAME ✨

e1000e_update_adaptive — Update Adaptive Interframe Spacing. That's the whole vibe. It updates the adaptive interframe spacing, periodt 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void e1000e_update_adaptive (struct e1000_hw *hw );

No return value, no drama, just vibes and one pointer. It's giving "I do one thing and I do it well" energy 👑

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • hw — pointer to the HW structure. That's your hardware struct bestie, the main character of this whole operation 🫶

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

Okay so here's the tea ☕ — this function updates the Adaptive Interframe Spacing Throttle value, and it figures that out based on two things:

  • the time between transmitted packets, and
  • the time between collisions.

That's it. That's the whole function. The way it literally just looks at your packet timing and your collision timing and recalibrates the throttle accordingly — obsessed 😭🔥

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

Kernel file: ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/e1000e/mac.c — that's where this lives, like literally, go look 👀

And now the full friend group, in order, no one left out, because I would never 🙈💜

Ngl there are a lot of them and yes I listed every single one, you're welcome, iykyk 💅

That's the whole page bestie, go forth and throttle adaptively 🌸🦋✨

Mwah 💋 — this gem is from ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/e..., dated October 2026, under the e1000e_update_adaptive(9) name. Slay, bye 👑
