sis900_reset(9)

💅 sis900_reset — the glow-up page (man 9)

okay so bestie, welcome to sis900_reset(9), a kernel API manual page, and honestly? she's short but she works. 💖

---

✨ NAME ✨

sis900_reset — reset sis900 MAC. that's it. that's the whole job. iconic, lowkey.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void sis900_reset (struct net_device *net_dev );

look at her. void, so she gives nothing back — no return value, no drama, just vibes and a reset. 🎀

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• net_dev — the net device to reset. that's your girl right there, the one getting the factory-reset treatment. 🫶

---

⭐ DESCRIPTION ⭐

so here's the tea, fr fr: this function resets the sis900 MAC and then just... waits. 👑 waits until the reset is actually finished, checking in through a change to the command register — like a "u up?" text but for hardware.

and then, because she's extra in the best way, she also changes the backoff algorithm for 900B0 & 635 M/B. periodt. 💅

ngl that's the entire description — no hidden lore, no secret options, no environment variables, not a single exit status to be found. she's a simple icon. ✨
