💅 ixgbe_fc_autoneg_fw(9) — like, the whole page, bestie

okay so real talk, this is a page from the Kernel API Manual for ixgbe_fc_autoneg_fw(9), and it's short but it's mighty 🌸 so let's get into it.

✨ NAME ✨

ixgbe_fc_autoneg_fw — Set up flow control for FW-controlled PHYs 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int ixgbe_fc_autoneg_fw (struct ixgbe_hw *hw );

✨ ARGUMENTS ✨

• hw — pointer to hardware structure 💖 (literally just a pointer to your hardware struct, that's the whole vibe)

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Called at init time to set up flow control. 👑

that's it. that's the description. no cap. it gets called when you're initializing, and its whole job is setting up flow control. short king behavior honestly 😭

and that's the whole page, bestie, we ate and left no crumbs 💅✨ the footer info for the record: source comes from ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i... (yeah it's truncated like that, blame the man page renderer 🙈), dated October 2026, and the manual identifier is ixgbe_fc_autoneg_fw(9) — slay, bye 🎀🦋💖
