👑 ixgbe_set_eee_capable(9)

okay so first things first, this page lives in the Kernel API Manual, and it's about exactly one tiny little helper: ixgbe_set_eee_capable. That's it. That's the whole gig. She's a supporting character with main character energy, and honestly? We respect her for it 💅

---

✨ NAME ✨

ixgbe_set_eee_capable — the helper function that figures out EEE support on X550 and E610, no cap 💖

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void ixgbe_set_eee_capable (struct ixgbe_adapter *adapter );

That's the whole signature bestie, she's not complicated. Returns void, takes one pointer. Clean. Iconic. Periodt.

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• adapter — the board private structure 🫶 that's literally it, that's the one (1) thing you hand her.

ngl there is exactly one argument here. Enjoy it. Breathe it in. It's giving minimalism 🌸

💫 SEE ALSO 💫

fr fr, the actual code lives here — the kernel file is ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ixgbe/ixgbe_main.c and yes you should go read it, iykyk 🔥
