ENUM IWL_EEPROM_CHANNEL_FLAGS(9)

💅 enum iwl_eeprom_channel_flags(9) 💅

okay bestie, so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual — yes, the actual kernel, like the thing running your phone rn — and it's all about enum iwl_eeprom_channel_flags, which is genuinely the prettiest little enum: it's the channel flags in EEPROM 🌸. That's it. That's the whole name. Sit with it.

✨ NAME ✨

enum iwl_eeprom_channel_flags — channel flags in EEPROM 🎀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

enum iwl_eeprom_channel_flags {
    EEPROM_CHANNEL_VALID ,
    EEPROM_CHANNEL_IBSS ,
    EEPROM_CHANNEL_ACTIVE ,
    EEPROM_CHANNEL_RADAR ,
    EEPROM_CHANNEL_WIDE ,
    EEPROM_CHANNEL_DFS

};

👑 Constants 👑

like, six of them, and each one is a tiny little mood about what a wifi channel is allowed to do ✨

• EEPROM_CHANNEL_VALID — channel is usable for this SKU/geo. lowkey the base-level green light 💚 if this flag isn't set, the channel said "not my department" for your specific SKU and region.
• EEPROM_CHANNEL_IBSS — usable as an IBSS channel 🫶 so it can hang out in an IBSS, bestie-style, no access point required.
• EEPROM_CHANNEL_ACTIVE — active scanning allowed 🔥 you may go poke the channel and ask who's there instead of just quietly listening.
• EEPROM_CHANNEL_RADAR — radar detection required 🚨 radar lives here, so behave; detection is mandatory, no skipping.
• EEPROM_CHANNEL_WIDE — 20 MHz channel okay (?) 🤨 and yes, the original literally has that question mark, I'm not adding the confusion, the kernel is. 20 MHz channel, okay, apparently?
• EEPROM_CHANNEL_DFS — dynamic freq selection candidate 🌈 this one's in the running for dynamic freq selection.

🔍 SEE ALSO 🔍

• ./drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlwifi/dvm/eeprom.c — the source file, go read it if you're that girl 💅
• struct iwl_eeprom_channel(9) — the struct bestie of this enum 🫶
• struct iwl_eeprom_enhanced_txpwr(9) — enhanced tx power, also in the friend group ✨

fr fr, every one of those constants is spelled exactly like that and yes, the (?) on EEPROM_CHANNEL_WIDE is canon. don't come for me, come for the kernel. 💀

and that's the whole page, bestie — no cap, this was sitting in the Kernel API Manual, dated October 2026, filed under ./drivers/net/wireless/intel/i... (the path got a little truncated, she's shy 🙈). mwah, ily, go read iwl_eeprom_channel(9) next 💖🎀🦋
