💅 ath5k_hw_channel(9)

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual entry for ath5k_hw_channel — yes that's the whole title, no it's not shorter, we move 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

ath5k_hw_channel — set a channel on the radio chip 📻💖

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int ath5k_hw_channel (struct ath5k_hw *ah , struct ieee80211_channel
*channel );

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• ah — the struct ath5k_hw, aka the hardware vibes holder 🫶
• channel — the struct ieee80211_channel, aka the channel you're tryna slide into 💅

---

🎀 DESCRIPTION 🎀

okay so this is the main character function — the one everybody calls when they wanna set a channel on the radio chip, and it picks how to do it based on the radio chip version. literally the whole personality of this function is "depends on which chip you are" and honestly? iconic 👑
