ixgbe_aci_s...k_restart_an(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for ixgbe_aci_set_link_restart_an — yes the header truncates it to ixgbe_aci_s...k_restart_an but we know her full name and we're gonna use it 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

ixgbe_aci_set_link_restart_an — set up link and restart AN 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int ixgbe_aci_set_link_restart_an (struct ixgbe_hw *hw , bool ena_link
);

like, it takes two things and gives you back an int, no cap 🫶

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • hw — pointer to the HW struct 🖥️ literally the hardware handle, she needs it
  • ena_link — if true: enable link, if false: disable link 🔌 so basically the on/off switch, iconic

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Function sets up the link and restarts the Auto-Negotiation over the link. ⚡ that's the whole vibe — link gets set up, AN gets restarted, everyone moves on. periodt.

⭐ RETURN ⭐

the exit code of the operation. 👑 that's it, that's the tea.

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

main character file first:

  • Kernel file ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ixgbe/ixgbe_e610.c

and then, okay, deep breath, the whole friend group 💜 (same order, no one left out, I would never):

🫶 quick vibe check: the source path in the footer is truncated (./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i...) and the date is October 2026 — that's straight from the page, I'm not out here inventing lore.

and that's the post 💅 mwah, go read your manpages bestie 💖🧚‍♀️🌸
