ENUM ATH5K_DRIVER_MODE(9)

💖 enum ath5k_driver_mode(9) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the manual page for enum ath5k_driver_mode, which is literally just the PHY operation mode. that's it. that's the whole vibe. it lives in the Kernel API Manual and it's lowkey iconic for how small it is 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

enum ath5k_driver_mode — PHY operation mode, no cap 🦋

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

enum ath5k_driver_mode {
    AR5K_MODE_11A ,
    AR5K_MODE_11B ,
    AR5K_MODE_11G ,
    AR5K_MODE_MAX

};

like… it's four (4) things. four. that's the whole enum. she's compact, she's efficient, she ate 💅

---

🎀 Constants 🎀

• AR5K_MODE_11A — 802.11a. that's it, that's the description, it's giving minimalist main character energy ✨
• AR5K_MODE_11B — 802.11b. again, just the standard name. respect the brevity fr fr
• AR5K_MODE_11G — 801.11g. yes bestie, it says 801.11g in the original and i am NOT fixing it — we do not edit the sacred texts, we only stan them 🙈 (this is a verbatim copy, pls don't come for me)
• AR5K_MODE_MAX — used for boundary checks. she's the bouncer at the club, keeping the array indices in line 👑🫶

---

🔥 Description 🔥

okay so this is the important part, listen up:

Do not change the order here. like, ever. we use these as array indices and it also maps EEPROM structures. so if you reorder them you're not being quirky, you're breaking everything 😭💀

that's the whole warning. it's short but it's highkey load-bearing. respect the order, periodt 🌈
