xemaclite_open(9)

💖 NAME 💖

xemaclite_open — open the network device, bestie. This is the xemaclite_open(9) page from the Kernel API Manual, and it's literally the “wake up, device” moment ✨

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

int xemaclite_open (struct net_device *dev );

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• dev — pointer to the network device. That's the main character here 🫶

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay so xemaclite_open does a whole little routine for the Emaclite device:

• sets the MAC address
• requests an IRQ
• enables interrupts for the Emaclite device
• starts the Tx queue

It also connects to the phy device, if MDIO is included in the Emaclite device. That's the whole vibe, no cap 💅

🔥 RETURN 🔥

• 0 on success ✨
• -ENODEV, if PHY cannot be connected 😭
• Non-zero error value on failure 💀
