ice_nway_reset(9)

💅 ice_nway_reset(9) — like, the whole kernel API manual moment

Okay bestie, so this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual (yes, that's the manual name, we're being official today 🎀) and it's all about one lil function that restarts autonegotiation. That's it. That's the whole vibe. She's small, she's iconic, let's go ✨

---

🦋 NAME

ice_nway_reset — restart autonegotiation

No cap, that is literally the entire job description. Restart. The autoneg. Periodt. 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS

int ice_nway_reset (struct net_device *netdev );

Look at her 👑 — she takes one thing, she gives you back an int. Minimalist queen.

---

🍓 ARGUMENTS

• netdev — the network interface device structure. That's your network interface device structure, bestie, the whole struct, the main character of the networking world 🫶

That's the only argument. One. Single. Argument. Lowkey obsessed with the efficiency tbh.

🔥 SEE ALSO

Okay so here's where it gets a lot, and I mean that in the best way — there is a whole squad, a whole friend group, an entire group chat of related functions, and she wants you to know every single one of them. No secrets in this family:

Ngl, if you were hoping for a short SEE ALSO section, this was not the page for you. But honestly? Slay for the thoroughness. 💖

🌈 A lil sign-off

This page came to you from the kernel source path ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ice, dated October 2026 ⭐ — so when you're out here restarting autonegotiation, just know the whole squad at that path has your back. Go forth, reset that nway, and remember: you're doing amazing, sweetie 💜🦋✨
