ENUM IEEE80211_BSS_CORRUPT_DATA_FLAGS(9)
π NAME π
Okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual β this page is all about enum ieee80211_bss_corrupt_data_flags, aka the BSS data corruption flags. Yes, that's a mouthful, no, I will not be shortening it, it's iconic as is. π
β¨ SYNOPSIS β¨
enum ieee80211_bss_corrupt_data_flags {
IEEE80211_BSS_CORRUPT_BEACON ,
IEEE80211_BSS_CORRUPT_PROBE_RESP
};
Like, that's the whole shape of it. Two constants, one enum, zero drama. π¦

π Description π
So basically: these are bss flags that are attached to a bss in the corrupt_data field of struct ieee80211_bss. That's it, that's the vibe. They live there. They tell you something got mangled on the way in. π«Ά
