ENUM BRCMF_SCAN_STATUS(9)
β¨ enum brcmf_scan_status(9) β¨
Okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual β yes, that manual, the kernel one, and no I will not calm down about it π This page is all about enum brcmf_scan_status, which is literally just the scan engine's status, living its best life in the Broadcom brcmfmac driver. Let's get into it, it's giving "small enum, big main character energy" π
πΈ NAME πΈ
enum brcmf_scan_status β the scan engine status, periodt. That's the whole vibe check β
π¦ SYNOPSIS π¦
enum brcmf_scan_status {
BRCMF_SCAN_STATUS_BUSY ,
BRCMF_SCAN_STATUS_ABORT ,
BRCMF_SCAN_STATUS_SUPPRESS
};
Three constants, all caps, all iconic, all doing their own little job π
π Constants π
BRCMF_SCAN_STATUS_BUSYβ the dongle is scanning, like right now, actively, it's busy bestie, do not disturb π scanning in progress on dongle β¨BRCMF_SCAN_STATUS_ABORTβ the scan is getting aborted on the dongle, so yeah, it's wrapping up early, it's giving "we don't need this scan actually" πBRCMF_SCAN_STATUS_SUPPRESSβ and this one? Scanning is suppressed in the driver. Not the dongle. The driver. Important distinction, iykyk π

Go read all of them, they're all slay, especially struct brcmf_cfg80211_info(9) which is highkey the mom of the group π
Real talk though: this page is from ./drivers/net/wireless/broadco... and it's dated October 2026, so like β note that down, cite it right, respect the source β
Alright bestie that's the whole page, mwah π enum brcmf_scan_status(9) out π§ββοΈ
