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.

NAME

       struct_ieee80211_rx_status - receive status

SYNOPSIS

       struct ieee80211_rx_status {
	 u64 mactime;
	 u32 device_timestamp;
	 u32 ampdu_reference;
	 u32 flag;
	 u32 vendor_radiotap_bitmap;

	 u8 ampdu_delimiter_crc;
	 u8 vendor_radiotap_align;
	 u8 vendor_radiotap_oui[3];
	 u8 vendor_radiotap_subns;
       };

MEMBERS

       mactime
	   value in microseconds of the 64-bit Time Synchronization Function (TSF) timer when the first data symbol (MPDU) arrived at the
	   hardware.

       device_timestamp
	   arbitrary timestamp for the device, mac80211 doesn't use it but can store it and pass it back to the driver for synchronisation

       ampdu_reference
	   A-MPDU reference number, must be a different value for each A-MPDU but the same for each subframe within one A-MPDU

       flag
	   RX_FLAG_*

       vendor_radiotap_bitmap
	   radiotap vendor namespace presence bitmap

       vendor_radiotap_len
	   radiotap vendor namespace length

       freq
	   frequency the radio was tuned to when receiving this frame, in MHz

       rate_idx
	   index of data rate into band's supported rates or MCS index if HT or VHT is used (RX_FLAG_HT/RX_FLAG_VHT)

       vht_nss
	   number of streams (VHT only)

       rx_flags
	   internal RX flags for mac80211

       band
	   the active band when this frame was received

       antenna
	   antenna used

       signal
	   signal strength when receiving this frame, either in dBm, in dB or unspecified depending on the hardware capabilities flags
	   IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_*

       ampdu_delimiter_crc
	   A-MPDU delimiter CRC

       vendor_radiotap_align
	   radiotap vendor namespace alignment. Note that the actual data must be at the start of the SKB data already.

       vendor_radiotap_oui[3]
	   radiotap vendor namespace OUI

       vendor_radiotap_subns
	   radiotap vendor sub namespace

DESCRIPTION

       The low-level driver should provide this information (the subset supported by hardware) to the 802.11 code with each received frame, in the
       skb's control buffer (cb).
