📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 ixgbe_device_supports_autoneg_fc(9) — from the Kernel API Manual, bestie 🫶

okay so picture this: you're deep in the Linux kernel docs, specifically the Kernel API Manual, and you've stumbled onto this little function called ixgbe_device_supports_autoneg_fc. yes the name is a mouthful, no we're not changing it, it's iconic. let's get into it ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

ixgbe_device_supports_autoneg_fc — literally just "check if phy supports autoneg flow control". that's the whole vibe check. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

bool ixgbe_device_supports_autoneg_fc (struct ixgbe_hw *hw );

she returns a bool, she takes one pointer, she's lowkey minimal about it. periodt.

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • hw — pointer to hardware structure. yes bestie, the whole hardware struct, handed to you like a lil gift. 🎁

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the tea ☕ — there are several phys out there that just do not support autoneg flow control. not their fault, they were built like that, we don't judge. 🙈

so what does this function do? she checks the device id — that's the whole move — to see if the associated phy supports autoneg flow control. that's it. that's the function. no cap, she's doing one job and doing it well. 👑

think of her as the bouncer at the club: is this phy on the list? true or false, no in-between. 🚪✨

the kernel file lives at ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ixgbe/ixgbe_common.c — go say hi to her neighbors, there's like a hundred of them and honestly they're all family:

like I said. one big happy function family. 🫶💖

okay that's the whole page!! shoutout to ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i... for keeping it real, and this page is dated October 2026 — yes we're reading from the future, main character energy only. 💅✨ mwah, go read some kernel source bestie 🎀
