hiii bestie 💖 welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for igc_copper_link_autoneg(9) — yes, the copper-link autoneg one. we’re keeping every detail, but making it make sense, fr fr ✨

✨ NAME ✨

igc_copper_link_autoneg — Setup/Enable autoneg for copper link 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

s32 igc_copper_link_autoneg (struct igc_hw *hw );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• hw — pointer to the HW structure 🫶

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so first it does initial bounds checking on the autoneg advertisement parameter (yes, checking that parameter’s vibe before anything else 😭), then it configures to advertise the full capability. it sets up the PHY to autoneg and restarts the negotiation process between the link partner. and if autoneg_wait_to_complete, then it waits for autoneg to complete before exiting. periodt 💅
