📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💖 ixgbe_init_phy_ops_82598(9) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ this one is literally all about ixgbe_init_phy_ops_82598 and it's giving "PHY/SFP specific init" energy, no cap 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int ixgbe_init_phy_ops_82598 (struct ixgbe_hw *hw );

like, that's the whole vibe. it returns an int and takes one pointer, periodt 💅

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • hw — pointer to hardware structure 🔥 that's your hardware bestie right there, the whole struct, the main character 👑

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the tea ☕: this function initializes any function pointers that were not able to be set during get_invariants — and why, you ask? because the PHY/SFP type was not known yet 😭 like the hardware was still figuring itself out, honestly relatable.

and then, if necessary, it performs the SFP init ✨ that's it, that's the whole function. simple, iconic, does exactly what it says 🎀

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

bestie there are SO many siblings, it's a whole family reunion fr fr 👑 first up, the kernel file where this lives:

  • ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ixgbe/ixgbe_82598.c

and then the whole squad of related functions, all in section (9) — every single one, because we don't skip anyone in this house 💜

like, go read them, they're all linked, iykyk 🧚

okay bestie that's the page 💖 one last thing — the source is ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i... and it's dated October 2026, so this manual page is ixgbe_init_phy_ops_82598(9) fr fr, slay, go init those PHY ops 💅✨🌸
