okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual 💖 — this one's hns_mac_set_autoneg(9) and it's literally the little function that flips the autonegotiation switch on your HNS MAC. short king, but iconic 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

hns_mac_set_autoneg — set auto autonegotiation ✨

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int hns_mac_set_autoneg (struct hns_mac_cb *mac_cb , u8 enable );

she's giving "small signature, big responsibility" 💅 returns an int, takes two args, no cap.

---

💜 ARGUMENTS 💜

• mac_cb — the mac control block 🫶 like, the whole vibe of the MAC lives in here, so pass it in and let her cook.
• enable — enable or not 😭 that's literally it, on or off, yes or no, the binary moment of truth. and bestie, the return situation is: 0 - success, negative --fail 🙈 so if it comes back negative she's not having a good day.

ngl the return value is doing double duty in this one — 0 means slay, anything negative means 💀. keep an eye on it.
