ixgbe_init_e...rams_generic(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💖 NAME 💖

ixgbe_init_eeprom_params_generic — the little function that sets up your EEPROM params ✨

So this page lives in the Kernel API Manual (that's the manual name bestie, we're in the big-kid docs now 👑) and it's literally just about one function doing one glow-up on your EEPROM config.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int ixgbe_init_eeprom_params_generic (struct ixgbe_hw *hw );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • hw — pointer to hardware structure 🌸 (yes that's it, that's the whole argument, she's low maintenance)

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay so picture this: the function initializes the EEPROM parameters ixgbe_eeprom_info inside the ixgbe_hw struct, and the whole reason it does that is to set up EEPROM access 💅

That's the vibe. No cap, that's the entire job. It's giving "getting your EEPROM ready for its main character era" — everything downstream can only talk to the EEPROM because this ran first 🦋

ngl it's a short one, but it's iconic in a supporting-role way — the EEPROM access doesn't happen without it 🫶

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

First up, the kernel file where the magic lives:

  • ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ixgbe/ixgbe_common.c 📁

And now the entire friend group — every one of these, in order, no skipping, we don't leave anyone on read 💜

ok that's genuinely the whole page, she's short and sweet 🍓

And for the lil sign-off 🎀 — this cutie came from ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i... (version vibes and all, that's the footer source), dated October 2026, and the page you're reading is ixgbe_init_e...rams_generic(9) in section 9. Periodt. 💅✨
