ethdev_setup(9) 💅

okay so bestie, this page is from the Kernel API Manual, and it’s here to explain the setup moment for the rest of the 8390 device struct. short page, important vibe. no cap ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

ethdev_setup — init rest of 8390 device struct.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void ethdev_setup (struct net_device *dev );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • dev — the network device structure to init. that’s the one you’re handing over, bestie 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

This initializes the rest of the 8390 device structure. literally the rest, like the finishing touches on the fit 💅

⚠️ do NOT __init this, okay? for real. it is used by 8390 based modular drivers too, so making it __init is not the move. periodt. 💀
