📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

Okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ — this one's a kernel-function page, so grab your emotional-support iced coffee and let's get into it 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

igb_copper_link_setup_82580 — the function that sets up the 82580 PHY for a copper link. She's doing the copper-link prep, okay? 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

s32 igb_copper_link_setup_82580 (struct e1000_hw *hw );

That's the whole vibe: takes one pointer, hands you back an s32. Clean, iconic, no drama. 👑

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • hw — a pointer to the HW structure. That's it, that's the whole argument list, and honestly? We love an uncomplicated queen. 💜

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So what does she actually do, you ask? She sets up Carrier-sense on Transmit and the downshift values. That's literally it — no cap, that's the whole documented job. She's not out here doing extra credit, she's just doing her two things and doing them well 💅✨

Ngl, that's the entire description in the original too — short and sweet stays short and sweet, I'm not gonna invent behaviour that isn't there 🙈

Shoutout to the source, ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/igb, and the date on this one is October 2026 — so yes, she's from the future, and she's still setting up copper links. Obsessed. 🍓💀🦋 mwah 💖
