STRUCT PCH_GBE_MAC_INFO(9)

🌸 struct pch_gbe_mac_info(9) 🌸

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, bestie — welcome to the MAC info glow-up zone 💅

---

✨ NAME ✨

struct pch_gbe_mac_info — literally MAC information. like, the whole vibe of the NIC's media access control identity lives here. and heads up: @addr[6] is where the MAC address itself is stored 🎀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

struct pch_gbe_mac_info {
    u8 addr[6];
    u8 fc;
    u8 fc_autoneg;
    u8 tx_fc_enable;
    u32 max_frame_size;
    u32 min_frame_size;
    u8 autoneg;
    u16 link_speed;
    u16 link_duplex;
 };

no cap, that's the whole struct. she's not huge but she's iconic 👑

---

💖 Members 💖

• fc — the mode of flow control. this is how she handles flow control, periodt 🫶
• fc_autoneg — auto negotiation enable for the flow control setting. so like, whether flow control gets to figure itself out on its own ✨
• tx_fc_enable — the enable flag of Transmit flow control. transmit flow control: on or off, that's the whole assignment 🔥
• max_frame_size — max transmit frame size. the ceiling, the limit, the "don't you dare go bigger than this" 📏
• min_frame_size — min transmit frame size. the floor. tiny frames matter too 🥺
• autoneg — auto negotiation enable. yes bestie, she can negotiate for herself 💅
• link_speed — link speed, stored as a u16. how fast we're going 🏎️
• link_duplex — link duplex, also a u16. duplex mode energy 🌈

ngl, addr[6] shows up in the struct up there but it's not in the Members list below — that's just how the page is, don't come for me 🙈 it's the MAC address storage, per the NAME section.

aaaand that's the page, babe 🧚 source path got cut off as ./drivers/net/ethernet/oki-sem... and the date on it is October 2026, and the whole thing is filed under struct pch_gbe_mac_info(9) — mwah, go touch some kernel code 💜💖🎀
