ENUM IEEE80211_AC_NUMBERS(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

✨ enum ieee80211_ac_numbers — the AC numbers mac80211 actually uses ✨

okay bestie, this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, section 9, and it's genuinely one of the shortest glow-ups you'll ever read. It's giving "small but mighty" 💅 — just four constants, but they're the ones that decide whose packets go first. Let's get into it 🫶

💖 NAME 💖

enum ieee80211_ac_numbers — the AC numbers as used in mac80211. no cap, that's literally the whole name section 🌸

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

here's the whole enum, copy-pasted with love, characters untouched (yes, even the little space before each comma — she's quirky like that 🙈):

enum ieee80211_ac_numbers {
    IEEE80211_AC_VO ,
    IEEE80211_AC_VI ,
    IEEE80211_AC_BE ,
    IEEE80211_AC_BK

};

🎀 Constants 🎀

four constants, four vibes, zero skips. here's the whole squad 👑

  • IEEE80211_AC_VO — voice. the main character of the access categories, highkey 😤
  • IEEE80211_AC_VI — video. second in line and she knows it 🎥
  • IEEE80211_AC_BE — best effort. the chill one, does what it can 🍓
  • IEEE80211_AC_BK — background. lowkey just happy to be here 💀

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

gather round, because this list is long and I refuse to leave a single one out. every single reference, periodt. 👑

the kernel file lives at ./include/net/mac80211.h — and then there's the whole extended friend group:

and that's the whole thing bestie 🌈 this page ships from ./include/net, dated October 2026, and it will always be known as enum ieee80211_ac_numbers(9). literally iconic, no notes 💜✨🎀
