enum_ieee80211_key_flags - key flags SYNOPSIS
enum ieee80211_key_flags { IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_GENERATE_IV, IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_GENERATE_MMIC, IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_PAIRWISE, IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_SW_MGMT_TX, IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_PUT_IV_SPACE, IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_RX_MGMT }; CONSTANTS
IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_GENERATE_IV This flag should be set by the driver to indicate that it requires IV generation for this particular key. IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_GENERATE_MMIC This flag should be set by the driver for a TKIP key if it requires Michael MIC generation in software. IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_PAIRWISE Set by mac80211, this flag indicates that the key is pairwise rather then a shared key. IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_SW_MGMT_TX This flag should be set by the driver for a CCMP key if it requires CCMP encryption of management frames (MFP) to be done in software. IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_PUT_IV_SPACE This flag should be set by the driver if space should be prepared for the IV, but the IV itself should not be generated. Do not set together with IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_GENERATE_IV on the same key. IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_RX_MGMT This key will be used to decrypt received management frames. The flag can help drivers that have a hardware crypto implementation that doesn't deal with management frames properly by allowing them to not upload the keys to hardware and fall back to software crypto. Note that this flag deals only with RX, if your crypto engine can't deal with TX you can also set the IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_SW_MGMT_TX flag to encrypt such frames in SW. DESCRIPTION
These flags are used for communication about keys between the driver and mac80211, with the flags parameter of struct ieee80211_key_conf. AUTHOR

enum_ieee80211_filter_flags - hardware filter flags SYNOPSIS
enum ieee80211_filter_flags { FIF_PROMISC_IN_BSS, FIF_ALLMULTI, FIF_FCSFAIL, FIF_PLCPFAIL, FIF_BCN_PRBRESP_PROMISC, FIF_CONTROL, FIF_OTHER_BSS, FIF_PSPOLL, FIF_PROBE_REQ }; CONSTANTS
FIF_PROMISC_IN_BSS promiscuous mode within your BSS, think of the BSS as your network segment and then this corresponds to the regular ethernet device promiscuous mode. FIF_ALLMULTI pass all multicast frames, this is used if requested by the user or if the hardware is not capable of filtering by multicast address. FIF_FCSFAIL pass frames with failed FCS (but you need to set the RX_FLAG_FAILED_FCS_CRC for them) FIF_PLCPFAIL pass frames with failed PLCP CRC (but you need to set the RX_FLAG_FAILED_PLCP_CRC for them FIF_BCN_PRBRESP_PROMISC This flag is set during scanning to indicate to the hardware that it should not filter beacons or probe responses by BSSID. Filtering them can greatly reduce the amount of processing mac80211 needs to do and the amount of CPU wakeups, so you should honour this flag if possible. FIF_CONTROL pass control frames (except for PS Poll), if PROMISC_IN_BSS is not set then only those addressed to this station. FIF_OTHER_BSS pass frames destined to other BSSes FIF_PSPOLL pass PS Poll frames, if PROMISC_IN_BSS is not set then only those addressed to this station. FIF_PROBE_REQ pass probe request frames HW QUEUE CONTROL
These flags determine what the filter in hardware should be programmed to let through and what should not be passed to the stack. It is always safe to pass more frames than requested, but this has negative impact on power consumption. AUTHOR
