wx_start_hw(9)

💖 wx_start_hw(9) — the glow-up page 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual, section 9, and today's main character is wx_start_hw. yes we're doing kernel networking lore, it's giving study date energy 🧚✨

---

✨ NAME ✨

wx_start_hw — literally the "Prepare hardware for Tx/Rx" moment 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void wx_start_hw (struct wx *wx );

no cap, that's the whole signature. slay 💅

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• wx — pointer to the hardware structure. that's the whole argument, she's low maintenance 🫶

---

⭐ DESCRIPTION ⭐

So here's the vibe 💜 — wx_start_hw starts the hardware by calling the generic start_hw function and the generation start_hw function. Both. yes queen, do both 🔥

Then, after that little duo, it performs revision-specific operations, if any. if there aren't any, she just moves on, no drama 💀

fr fr that's the entire description, don't @ me, the kernel devs kept it short and iconic 👑
