Reports the current status of the media interface of the Ethernet controller.

Note: hpeGetMediaStatus is a slow function because it accesses PHY interface. This function should be used only at start up time when media status needs to be determined after hpeOpen is called.  To check the link status at runtime, use the return value of hpeAttachTransmitBufferSet function. hpeAttachTransmitBufferSet returns E_TRANSMISSION when link is down.

HPESTATUS hpeGetMediaStatus(
    HPEHANDLE devhandle, 
    HPEMEDIASTATUS  *media_status
);

Parameters

devhandle

A handle value for the device.

media_status

A pointer to a HPEMEDIASTATUS structure where the information is to be returned.

Return Values

A status value indicating the success or failure of the operation:
