velocity_set_media_mode(9)

💖 velocity_set_media_mode(9) — Kernel API Manual energy 💖

okay bestie, this is the velocity_set_media_mode(9) page from the Kernel API Manual, and we’re gonna make it make sense together 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

velocity_set_media_mode — set media mode, periodt ✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int velocity_set_media_mode (struct velocity_info *vptr , u32 mii_status
);

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• vptr — the velocity adapter, aka the main character struct in this situation 💅
• mii_status — old MII link state, iykyk 🦋

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So here’s the vibe: this function checks the media link state and configures the flow control PHY and also the velocity hardware setup accordingly. Lowkey essential stuff.

In particular, we need to set up CD polling and frame bursting. No cap, those details matter 🔥
