✨ ath5k_beacon_config(9) ✨

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and bestie, it's a short one but it's literally the whole vibe check for beacon setup 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

ath5k_beacon_config — configure the beacon queues and interrupts 🎀

like, it sets up the beacon queue stuff and the interrupt stuff. that's the whole job. no cap.

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void ath5k_beacon_config (struct ath5k_hw *ah );

returns void, so don't go looking for a return value, she gives you nothing back and that's iconic of her 🫶

---

💜 ARGUMENTS 💜

• ah — a struct ath5k_hw pointer, and it's the one we're operating on 💖 this is your main character right here, the hardware struct we're doing all this to.

---

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

okay so here's the tea ☕ In IBSS mode we use a self-linked tx descriptor if possible — if possible, mind you, that's the caveat and we're keeping it, don't @ me 🙈

And we enable SWBA interrupts to detect TSF updates only. like, that is their one (1) job in this configuration. TSF updates. that's it. periodt 💀
