cfg80211_rx_assoc_resp(9)

💫 cfg80211_rx_assoc_resp — the Kernel API Manual, bestie edition 💫

okay so quick vibe check: this is a page from the Kernel API Manual (section 9, kernel devs, iykyk ✨). Say hi to cfg80211_rx_assoc_resp — literally the "hey bestie, I finished processing that association response" notification. 👑

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

cfg80211_rx_assoc_resp — notification of processed association response 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

void cfg80211_rx_assoc_resp (struct net_device *dev , const struct
       cfg80211_rx_assoc_resp_data *data );

no cap, that's the whole signature — copy it exactly, don't get cute with it 💅

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• dev — the network device. yes. the actual net_device. main character energy. 🌈
• data — the association response data, typed as struct cfg80211_rx_assoc_resp_data. it's giving "all the deets, packaged up cute" 🍓

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So here's the teaaaa ☕ — after the driver gets asked to associate via cfg80211_ops::assoc, it must call either this function or cfg80211_auth_timeout. Like, pick one, bestie, those are the options. not me being dramatic, that's literally the rule 💀

⚠️ heads up: this function may sleep. and the caller must hold the corresponding wdev's mutex. do not skip this. fr fr. 🙈

more parts coming, don't go anywhere 🧚💜

✨ SEE ALSO ✨

okay bestie, this is the SEE ALSO section and it’s basically the entire cfg80211 extended universe in one group chat. every single cross-reference is below — no skimming, no cap. i kept every name exactly as it is, because we do not mess with manpage names 💅
