ENUM IEEE80211_RX_FLAGS(9)

🌸 enum ieee80211_rx_flags 🌸

okay bestie, so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual — it's the enum ieee80211_rx_flags(9) page, and honestly? It's a short one. A lil snack. But we're gonna read it together anyway because that's what besties do 💖

✨ NAME ✨

enum ieee80211_rx_flags — the RX data flags. That's it, that's the whole name. Iconic minimalism, no notes.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

Here's the whole shape of the thing, literally verbatim:

enum ieee80211_rx_flags {
    IEEE80211_RX_BEACON_REPORTED

};

yeah. one single member. the way that this enum said "I'm gonna have exactly one (1) flag and it's gonna be a whole personality" 😭 we love a focused queen.

💅 Constants 💅

• IEEE80211_RX_BEACON_REPORTED — this frame was already reported to cfg80211_report_obss_beacon. so like, it's been announced, it's been seen, it's been through the whole reporting pipeline already. noted! no double-reporting in this household 🫶

💜 Description 💜

So what are these flags even for? They're used across handling multiple interfaces for a single frame. That's the vibe — one frame, several interfaces, and the flags keep everybody on the same page so each handler knows what's already happened to that frame. shared context, main character energy, no cap ✨

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

okay this is the part where the page goes full group-chat-invite and tags everyone. all of these live in the kernel file ./net/mac80211/ieee80211_i.h, and yes I'm listing every single one because we do not skip the boring parts in this house 🔥

fr fr go read the neighbors too, this enum does not exist in a vacuum bestie 💀

and that's the whole page!! from the ./net/mac80211 corner of the kernel tree, dated October 2026, still living under the title enum ieee80211_rx_flags(9) in the Kernel API Manual 🌈 mwah, slay, go read your headers 💖🎀🧚
