mii_stat100...thtool_lpa_t(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 mii_stat1000_to_ethtool_lpa_t(9) — like, the Kernel API Manual page, bestie ✨

okay so picture this: it's the Kernel API Manual, and this page is all about one tiny little helper. lowkey iconic. let's get into it 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

mii_stat1000_to_ethtool_lpa_t — that's the whole name, no extra tagline, the original page didn't give us one and I'm not about to invent lore 💀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

u32 mii_stat1000_to_ethtool_lpa_t (u32 lpa );

that's it. returns a u32, takes a u32 called lpa. simple. clean. main character energy 👑

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

  • lpa — bestie... the manpage literally says -- undescribed --. no cap. that's all we get. the docs said "figure it out" and honestly? relatable 🙈

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so what does this little function do. it's a small helper function — a small one, the page said small, I'm not overselling — that takes MII_STAT1000 bits and translates them, when you're in 1000Base-T mode, into ethtool advertisement settings. that's the whole vibe check 🔥

think of it like a translator between two friend groups who both speak "network speed" but with different slang. MII_STAT1000 bits walk in, ethtool advertisement settings walk out. slay 💅

heads up bestie: the 1000Base-T mode part is not a suggestion, it's the condition. that's the mode this translation is for ⭐

💖 SEE ALSO 💖

the original page shouts out the kernel file these live in — ./include/linux/mii.h — and then drops a whole friend group of related functions. all of them, no skips, here we go:

and that's the whole page, bestie, we ate and left no crumbs 🍓 this came from the ./include/linux source, dated October 2026, and the title was mii_stat100...thtool_lpa_t(9) because even the header got truncated and honestly? she's thriving anyway 💜✨
