IEEE80211_BEACON_LOS(9) 				     Advanced driver interface					   IEEE80211_BEACON_LOS(9)

NAME

       ieee80211_beacon_loss - inform hardware does not receive beacons

SYNOPSIS

       void ieee80211_beacon_loss(struct ieee80211_vif * vif);

ARGUMENTS

       vif

	   struct ieee80211_vif pointer from the add_interface callback.

DESCRIPTION

       When beacon filtering is enabled with IEEE80211_HW_BEACON_FILTERING and IEEE80211_CONF_PS is set, the driver needs to inform whenever the
       hardware is not receiving beacons with this function.

	 struct ieee80211_bss_conf bss_conf;
	 u8 addr[ETH_ALEN];

       };

MEMBERS

       type
	   type of this virtual interface

       bss_conf
	   BSS configuration for this interface, either our own or the BSS we're associated to

       addr[ETH_ALEN]
	   address of this interface

       p2p
	   indicates whether this AP or STA interface is a p2p interface, i.e. a GO or p2p-sta respectively

       cab_queue
	   content-after-beacon (DTIM beacon really) queue, AP mode only

       hw_queue[IEEE80211_NUM_ACS]
	   hardware queue for each AC

       chanctx_conf
	   The channel context this interface is assigned to, or NULL when it is not assigned. This pointer is RCU-protected due to the TX path
	   needing to access it; even though the netdev carrier will always be off when it is NULL there can still be races and packets could be
	   processed after it switches back to NULL.

       driver_flags
	   flags/capabilities the driver has for this interface, these need to be set (or cleared) when the interface is added or, if supported by
	   the driver, the interface type is changed at runtime, mac80211 will never touch this field

       debugfs_dir
	   debugfs dentry, can be used by drivers to create own per interface debug files. Note that it will be NULL for the virtual monitor
	   interface (if that is requested.)

       drv_priv[0]
	   data area for driver use, will always be aligned to sizeof(void *).

DESCRIPTION

       Data in this structure is continually present for driver use during the life of a virtual interface.
