ENUM IEEE80211_INTERNAL_KEY_FLAGS(9)
π enum ieee80211_internal_key_flags β like, the whole manual page, bestie
okay so this page is from the Kernel API Manual and it's all about enum ieee80211_internal_key_flags, which is genuinely one of those tiny little enums that lowkey runs the whole vibe check on your wireless keys. no cap. it's giving "small but iconic." π
β¨ NAME β¨
enum ieee80211_internal_key_flags β the internal key flags, bestie. internal. as in, not your business unless you're in the kernel. π«Ά
π¦ SYNOPSIS π¦
okay so here's the whole thing, exactly as it lives:
enum ieee80211_internal_key_flags {
KEY_FLAG_UPLOADED_TO_HARDWARE ,
KEY_FLAG_TAINTED
};
that's it. two constants. two little icons. main character energy in enum form. π
π Constants π
KEY_FLAG_UPLOADED_TO_HARDWAREβ slay, this one means the key is literally present in the hardware so TX crypto hardware acceleration can do its thing. it's the "i've been uploaded and i'm thriving" flag. β¨KEY_FLAG_TAINTEDβ uh oh. π this means the key is tainted, and packets should be dropped. not dramatic, just true. if you see this flag, the vibe is off and the packets are not making it through. π
π SEE ALSO π
- Kernel file
./net/mac80211/key.hβ go read it, iykyk. it's where all this lives. π¦
and that's the whole page, fr fr. source/version situation: it's from ./net/mac80211, dated October 2026, and the page itself is enum ieee80...al_key_flags(9) β yes that's the truncated name in the footer, no i didn't do that, it's just how it's printed. π
bye bestie, go drop some packets (only the tainted ones) π§π
