igc_setup_copper_link_base(9)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so bestie, this is igc_setup_copper_link_base(9) — straight from the Kernel API Manual, section 9, no cap. Its whole job? Configure copper link settings ✨

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

s32 igc_setup_copper_link_base (struct igc_hw *hw );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• hw — pointer to the HW structure. that's the whole argument, bestie 🫶

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

okay here's the tea ☕: this one configures the link for auto-neg or forced speed and duplex. Then we check for link, and once link is established, calls to configure collision distance and flow control are called. that's the vibe — link setup first, then those follow-up calls do their thing 🔥
