📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 igb_phy_hw_reset_sgmii_82575 — like, the PHY reset one

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual (yes the whole igb_phy_hw_r..._sgmii_82575(9) crew, the name got truncated by the terminal and honestly same girl) and today we're talking about exactly one (1) function. she's small. she's iconic. let's go 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

igb_phy_hw_reset_sgmii_82575 — performs a PHY reset. that's it. that's the whole vibe check. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

s32 igb_phy_hw_reset_sgmii_82575 (struct e1000_hw *hw );

returns an s32, takes one pointer, name is a whole paragraph. slay.

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • hw — pointer to the HW structure. that's the one and only thing she needs from you, bestie. hand over the hardware struct and step back. 🦋

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so what does she do? she resets the PHY, but the way she does it is via the serial gigabit media independent interface. that's the whole description, no cap — short, sweet, and to the point, like a text you send at 2am that just says "reset it". 🔥

no extra lore given here, bestie, so i'm not gonna invent any. we reset the PHY through SGMII and we move on. periodt. 💀

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

omg okay this list is long long, she has a whole extended friend group. the kernel file first:
