ixgbe_setup_sgmii(9)

💖 ixgbe_setup_sgmii(9) — like, the whole glow-up 💖

okay so bestie, this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual (yes, the Kernel API Manual, we're literally in the big leagues now 👑) and today's main character is ixgbe_setup_sgmii. She sets up the link for sgmii. That's it, that's the vibe. Short queen energy. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

ixgbe_setup_sgmii — Set up link for sgmii 🌸

no cap, that's the entire name section. she's concise and she knows it.

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int ixgbe_setup_sgmii (struct ixgbe_hw *hw , ixgbe_link_speed speed ,
bool autoneg_wait_to_complete );

look at her 💅 returns an int, takes three things, absolutely slaying in drivers/net/ethernet/intel/ixgbe/ land.

---

💜 ARGUMENTS 💜

• hw — pointer to hardware structure. like, the actual hardware, bestie. the real one. she needs the pointer, give her the pointer 🫶
• speed — unused. literally just vibing there. not doing anything. we love a decorative parameter ✨
• autoneg_wait_to_complete — unused. also just sitting there being iconic and completely ignored. mood honestly 💀

fr fr: two out of three arguments are unused. don't come for her, she's doing her best 😭

cute little sign-off time 🫶 — this one comes from ./drivers/net/ethernet/intel/i... (we stan an abbreviated path 😭) and it's dated October 2026, so she's fresh, she's current, she's literally from the future. 💖 see you in the next manpage, mwah 🎀
