ath5k_hw_rf5112_channel(9) 💅✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the ath5k_hw_rf5112_channel(9) page from the kernel API manual — this one is literally about setting channel frequency on 5112 and newer, and it’s giving concise-iconic. 🎀

💖 NAME

ath5k_hw_rf5112_channel — Set channel frequency on 5112 and newer

🌸 SYNOPSIS

int ath5k_hw_rf5112_channel (struct ath5k_hw *ah , struct
       ieee80211_channel *channel );

🦋 ARGUMENTS

• ah — The struct ath5k_hw.
• channel — The struct ieee80211_channel.

✨ DESCRIPTION

On RF5112/2112 and newer, we don’t need to do any conversion — none, nada, zero. 💅 We pass the frequency value to the chip directly after a few modifications. that’s the whole vibe.

🚨 NOTE

Make sure the channel frequency given is within our range, or else we might damage the chip !!! 😭 Use ath5k_channel_ok before calling this one — fr fr, do not skip the vibe check. 🫶
