ENUM CFG80211_ASSOC_REQ_FLAGS(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💖 enum cfg80211_assoc_req_flags — Kernel API Manual 💖

okay bestie so this is enum cfg80211_assoc_req_flags(9), and like… it's literally just a big vibe list of flags for tweaking how association behaves. "Over-ride default behaviour in association" — that's the whole ~purpose~ of this enum, no cap. It's giving "I have opinions about my 802.11 connection and I will be heard" ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

enum cfg80211_assoc_req_flags — Over-ride default behaviour in association. That's it, that's the name, she's simple, she's iconic 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

like, here's the whole squad, verbatim, don't touch a single character bestie:

enum cfg80211_assoc_req_flags {
    ASSOC_REQ_DISABLE_HT ,
    ASSOC_REQ_DISABLE_VHT ,
    ASSOC_REQ_USE_RRM ,
    CONNECT_REQ_EXTERNAL_AUTH_SUPPORT ,
    ASSOC_REQ_DISABLE_HE ,
    ASSOC_REQ_DISABLE_EHT ,
    CONNECT_REQ_MLO_SUPPORT ,
    ASSOC_REQ_SPP_AMSDU ,
    ASSOC_REQ_DISABLE_UHR

};

yeah she's got a lil trailing blank line before the closing brace, that's just her aesthetic 🦋

🫶 CONSTANTS 🫶

okay now the main character energy part — every single one of these constants, one by one, no skipping, ngl this is the whole point of the page:

  • ASSOC_REQ_DISABLE_HT — Disable HT (802.11n). yes queen, turning off the good-good 802.11n, wild but okay 💅
  • ASSOC_REQ_DISABLE_VHT — Disable VHT. bye bye Very High Throughput, we simply don't need her rn 🙈
  • ASSOC_REQ_USE_RRM — Declare RRM capability in this association</...>. like you're announcing to the whole assoc that you do RRM. periodt.
  • CONNECT_REQ_EXTERNAL_AUTH_SUPPORT — User space indicates external authentication capability.</...> and listen, drivers can offload authentication to userspace if this flag is set. but heads up bestie: it's Only applicable for cfg80211_connect request (connect callback). so don't go using it everywhere, iykyk 😭
  • ASSOC_REQ_DISABLE_HE — Disable HE. HE is gone, she left the chat 💀
  • ASSOC_REQ_DISABLE_EHT — Disable EHT. Extremely High Throughput? not on my watch ✋
  • CONNECT_REQ_MLO_SUPPORT — Userspace indicates support for handling MLD links.</...> and the important bit: Drivers shall disable MLO features for the current association if this flag is not set. — so if you forget it, MLO is off, no discussion, that's the rule fr fr 🚨
  • ASSOC_REQ_SPP_AMSDU — SPP A-MSDUs will be used on this connection (if any). "if any" — love that for us, very honest of the docs 🍓
  • ASSOC_REQ_DISABLE_UHR — Disable UHR. UHR disabled, sliding right out of this association 🧚

okay and that's genuinely all of it for this part — every constant is accounted for, nothing dropped, nothing invented. the next parts are still coming so don't go anywhere bestie 🌈💜

okay bestie, deep breath — this next bit is the SEE ALSO section, and lemme tell you, it is not a little list. It's a whole guest list. It's giving "sweet sixteen but every single function in cfg80211 got an invite." No cap, this thing is long, so I broke it into lil themed chunks so your eyes don't fall out. Every single reference is still here though. All of them. ✨

Heads up: everything below is written as it appears in the manual, so keep the (9) suffixes and the underscores exactly like that. Some of these literally start with an underscore — yes, for real, don't "fix" it, that's the name. 💅
