STRUCT 
IEEE80211_CON(9) 				  The basic mac80211 driver inte				   STRUCT IEEE80211_CON(9)

NAME

       struct_ieee80211_conf - configuration of the device

SYNOPSIS

       struct ieee80211_conf {
	 u32 flags;
	 int power_level;
	 int dynamic_ps_timeout;
	 int max_sleep_period;
	 u16 listen_interval;
	 u8 ps_dtim_period;
	 u8 long_frame_max_tx_count;
	 u8 short_frame_max_tx_count;
	 struct cfg80211_chan_def chandef;
	 bool radar_enabled;
	 enum ieee80211_smps_mode smps_mode;
       };

MEMBERS

       flags
	   configuration flags defined above

       power_level
	   requested transmit power (in dBm), backward compatibility value only that is set to the minimum of all interfaces

       dynamic_ps_timeout
	   The dynamic powersave timeout (in ms), see the powersave documentation below. This variable is valid only when the CONF_PS flag is set.

       max_sleep_period
	   the maximum number of beacon intervals to sleep for before checking the beacon for a TIM bit (managed mode only); this value will be
	   only achievable between DTIM frames, the hardware needs to check for the multicast traffic bit in DTIM beacons. This variable is valid
	   only when the CONF_PS flag is set.

       listen_interval
	   listen interval in units of beacon interval

       ps_dtim_period
	   The DTIM period of the AP we're connected to, for use in power saving. Power saving will not be enabled until a beacon has been
	   received and the DTIM period is known.

       long_frame_max_tx_count
	   Maximum number of transmissions for a "long" frame (a frame not RTS protected), called "dot11LongRetryLimit" in 802.11, but actually
	   means the number of transmissions not the number of retries

       short_frame_max_tx_count
	   Maximum number of transmissions for a "short" frame, called "dot11ShortRetryLimit" in 802.11, but actually means the number of
	   transmissions not the number of retries

       chandef
	   the channel definition to tune to

       radar_enabled
	   whether radar detection is enabled

       smps_mode
	   spatial multiplexing powersave mode; note that IEEE80211_SMPS_STATIC is used when the device is not configured for an HT channel. Note
	   that this is only valid if channel contexts are not used, otherwise each channel context has the number of chains listed.

DESCRIPTION

       This struct indicates how the driver shall configure the hardware.

STRUCT 
CFG80211_BSS(9)					  Scanning and BSS list handling				    STRUCT CFG80211_BSS(9)

NAME

       struct_cfg80211_bss - BSS description

SYNOPSIS

       struct cfg80211_bss {
	 struct ieee80211_channel * channel;
	 const struct cfg80211_bss_ies __rcu * ies;
	 const struct cfg80211_bss_ies __rcu * beacon_ies;
	 const struct cfg80211_bss_ies __rcu * proberesp_ies;
	 struct cfg80211_bss * hidden_beacon_bss;
	 s32 signal;
	 u16 beacon_interval;
	 u16 capability;
	 u8 bssid[ETH_ALEN];
	 u8 priv[0];
       };

MEMBERS

       channel
	   channel this BSS is on

       ies
	   the information elements (Note that there is no guarantee that these are well-formed!); this is a pointer to either the beacon_ies or
	   proberesp_ies depending on whether Probe Response frame has been received. It is always non-NULL.

       beacon_ies
	   the information elements from the last Beacon frame (implementation note: if hidden_beacon_bss is set this struct doesn't own the
	   beacon_ies, but they're just pointers to the ones from the hidden_beacon_bss struct)

       proberesp_ies
	   the information elements from the last Probe Response frame

       hidden_beacon_bss
	   in case this BSS struct represents a probe response from a BSS that hides the SSID in its beacon, this points to the BSS struct that
	   holds the beacon data.  beacon_ies is still valid, of course, and points to the same data as hidden_beacon_bss->beacon_ies in that
	   case.

       signal
	   signal strength value (type depends on the wiphy's signal_type)

       beacon_interval
	   the beacon interval as from the frame

       capability
	   the capability field in host byte order

       bssid[ETH_ALEN]
	   BSSID of the BSS

       priv[0]
	   private area for driver use, has at least wiphy->bss_priv_size bytes

DESCRIPTION

       This structure describes a BSS (which may also be a mesh network) for use in scan results and similar.
