πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’… mii_stat100...nkmode_lpa_t(9) πŸ’…

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual πŸŽ€ β€” today's main character is mii_stat1000_mod_linkmode_lpa_t, a little function with a big name and honestly a very specific job. sit down, grab a strawberry πŸ“, let's get into it.


✨ NAME ✨

mii_stat1000_mod_linkmode_lpa_t β€” no, there's no description here, the name IS the description, that's just how kernel devs roll πŸ™ˆ


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void mii_stat1000_mod_linkmode_lpa_t (unsigned long *advertising , u32
lpa );

that's it. that's the whole vibe check. two args, returns nothing, moves on with its life πŸ’…


πŸ¦‹ ARGUMENTS πŸ¦‹

  • advertising β€” the target for your linkmode advertisement settings. like, this is where the results get written, it's the destination, the moment, the whole point 🫢
  • lpa β€” ngl the original page literally says -- undescribed -- and we're not gonna invent lore that isn't there, so. it's a u32. that's the tea 😭

πŸ”₯ DESCRIPTION πŸ”₯

so what does this icon actually do? it's a small helper function (small but mighty, main character energy fr fr) that translates MII_STAT1000 bits β€” but only when you're in 1000Base-T mode β€” over to linkmode advertisement settings ✨

and the important bit: other bits in advertising are not changed. it only touches what it needs to touch. respectful. boundaries. we love to see it πŸ‘‘

🩷 heads up bestie: the original says "Other bits in advertising are not changes." β€” that's a typo on their end, not ours. the meaning is clear though: untouched bits stay untouched. no cap.

πŸ‘‘ SEE ALSO πŸ‘‘

the whole friend group, in order, and yes we're listing every single one because every single one is iconic 🧚:

Kernel file ./include/linux/mii.h

like, twenty-two siblings. one big happy MII family 🌈


sign-off time, bestie 🫢 this page lives in ./include/linux, it's dated October 2026, and it's from the Kernel API Manual. go forth, translate those 1000Base-T bits, and slay πŸ’–βœ¨πŸŽ€
