📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💖 igc_set_eee_i225 — like, the whole personality of this page 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual entry for igc_set_eee_i225(9) — yes that (9) means it's a kernel-internal function, we love a section-9 moment ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

igc_set_eee_i225 — Enable/disable EEE support 🎀

(yes, that's it. EEE. Energy-Efficient Ethernet. she's efficient, she's iconic, she naps when nobody needs her.)

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

s32 igc_set_eee_i225 (struct igc_hw *hw , bool adv2p5G , bool adv1G ,
bool adv100M );

like, look at her. returns an s32, takes an hw pointer and three lil booleans. three flags of destiny fr fr 💅

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

  • hw — pointer to the HW structure 🌈 that's your hardware bestie, the whole vibe of the chip lives in there
  • adv2p5G — boolean flag enabling 2.5G EEE advertisement ⚡ the speedy one
  • adv1G — boolean flag enabling 1G EEE advertisement 🌸 the classic
  • adv100M — boolean flag enabling 100M EEE advertisement 🍓 the cozy slow one

every one of these is a bool, so it's true/false energy, no in-between, no "maybeee" 🙈

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

Enable/disable EEE based on setting in the dev_spec structure 👑

so basically: whether EEE turns on or off is decided by what's chillin' in dev_spec. not vibes, not the moon phase — the structure. periodt 🫶

and the whole friend group of i225 functions — genuinely obsessed with how long this list is, ate and left no crumbs 👑:

ngl if you're reading a manpage about EEE advertisement flags at 2am, you're lowkey the main character of the driver stack 💀💖

and that's the page!! sourced from ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/igc, dated October 2026 — mwah, go touch some ethernet cable bestie 🧚💜
