ixgbe_set_mdio_speed(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

✨ NAME ✨

ixgbe_set_mdio_speed — okay so this one sets the MDIO clock speed 💫 that's literally the whole vibe, bestie, it's the function that handles the MDIO clock speed situation and nothing else, no cap

This page lives in the Kernel API Manual, and honestly? iconic of it.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void ixgbe_set_mdio_speed (struct ixgbe_hw *hw );

That's it. That's the whole call. Returning nothing (void) because it's a "do the thing" girlie, not a "report back to you" girlie 🎀

🌸 ARGUMENTS 🌸

  • hw — pointer to hardware structure 👑 this is your hardware struct pointer, it's giving main character energy because without it there's literally nothing to point at

💅 SEE ALSO 💅

Okay so this is the part where the page just. keeps. going. and we love her for it 🫶 here's the whole friend group, starting with the kernel file where the actual source lives:

  • Kernel file ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ixgbe/ixgbe_x550.c

And then the extended squad, in order, exactly as listed because we do not skip people at the group chat 💖

Like, fifty-plus links. She said "bring the whole friend group or don't come" 😭 and we respect it.

ngl if you're looking for dangerous flags or wild defaults, there aren't any here — this page has one argument and a whole lot of SEE ALSO. Short and sweet, fr fr 🍓

okay bye bestie, mwah 💋 this lil page is from the Kernel API Manual, the source/version line reads ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i... and it's dated October 2026, and the page we just read is ixgbe_set_mdio_speed(9) — go set that MDIO clock speed, you absolute icon 👑✨
