πŸ’– NAME πŸ’–

igb_config_fc_after_link_up β€” Configures flow control after link ✨

πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

πŸ”₯ DESCRIPTION πŸ”₯

Okay so here’s the vibe check: this function checks the status of auto-negotiation after link up to ensure that the speed and duplex were not forced. If the link needed to be forced, then flow control needs to be forced also. And if auto-negotiation is enabled and did not fail, then we configure flow control based on our link partner. That’s literally the whole little story, no cap πŸ’….
