ENUM ATH5K_PKT_TYPE(9)

✨ enum ath5k_pkt_type(9) ✨

okay bestie, this is a page from the Kernel API Manual and it's all about enum ath5k_pkt_type — like, the actual types of packets you can transmit. it's giving "small enum, big responsibility" honestly 🎀

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

enum ath5k_pkt_type — Transmit packet types 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

here's the whole enum, literally all of it, no cap:

enum ath5k_pkt_type {
    AR5K_PKT_TYPE_NORMAL ,
    AR5K_PKT_TYPE_ATIM ,
    AR5K_PKT_TYPE_PSPOLL ,
    AR5K_PKT_TYPE_BEACON ,
    AR5K_PKT_TYPE_PROBE_RESP ,
    AR5K_PKT_TYPE_PIFS

};

like, that's the whole vibe. six constants, each one a different flavor of transmit packet ✨

---

💖 Constants 💖

every single one of them, bestie, in order, with what it is:

• AR5K_PKT_TYPE_NORMAL — Normal data. the standard one, the main character of packets fr fr 📨
• AR5K_PKT_TYPE_ATIM — ATIM. yes that's the whole description, and yes it's still important 🫶
• AR5K_PKT_TYPE_PSPOLL — PS-Poll. spelled exactly like that, hyphen and all 🧚
• AR5K_PKT_TYPE_BEACON — Beacon 🌈
• AR5K_PKT_TYPE_PROBE_RESP — Probe response 👑
• AR5K_PKT_TYPE_PIFS — PIFS, and lowkey the key detail here: it's Used on tx control descriptor — that's the note, don't lose it 💜

---

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

so there's a kernel file referenced here, exactly:

Kernel file ./drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath5k/ath5k.h enum

and then the whole friend group of related pages, all of them, in this exact order:

ath5k_version(9), enum ath5k_radio(9), Atheros XR(9), Atheros SuperAG(9), enum ath5k_driver_mode(9), enum ath5k_ant_mode(9), enum ath5k_bw_mode(9), struct ath5k_tx_status(9), enum ath5k_tx_queue(9), enum ath5k_tx_queue_subtype(9), enum ath5k_tx_queue_id(9), struct ath5k_txq(9), struct ath5k_txq_info(9), struct ath5k_rx_status(9), enum ath5k_rfgain(9), struct ath5k_gain(9), struct ath5k_athchan_2ghz(9), enum ath5k_dmasize(9), Rate codes(9), enum ath5k_int(9), enum ath5k_calibration_mask(9), enum ath5k_power_mode(9) 💀 that's a lot of cross-references and every single one is staying, periodt.

ok real talk: this page lives under ./drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath5k and it's dated October 2026, and the thing is literally just a header enum with a PIFS Used on tx control descriptor note tacked onto the last constant. that's the whole lore. slay 💅

and that's the page, bestie!! go forth and transmit your packets with correct types 🦋💖⭐
