ENUM IWL_MEI_AKM_AUTH(9)

💖 NAME 💖

enum iwl_mei_akm_auth — it's literally a combo deal of AKM and AUTH method, bestie, that's the whole vibe ✨

---

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

okay so picture this, the enum looks like:

enum iwl_mei_akm_auth {
    IWL_MEI_AKM_AUTH_OPEN ,
    IWL_MEI_AKM_AUTH_RSNA ,
    IWL_MEI_AKM_AUTH_RSNA_PSK ,
    IWL_MEI_AKM_AUTH_SAE

};

yes the trailing comma before the brace is just how it is, we don't question it 💅

---

🎀 CONSTANTS 🎀

each one is giving a different energy, and honestly? iconic:

• IWL_MEI_AKM_AUTH_OPEN — no encryption at all. raw. unfiltered. the au naturel option 🦋
• IWL_MEI_AKM_AUTH_RSNA — the 1X profile, she's the classic 🌸
• IWL_MEI_AKM_AUTH_RSNA_PSK — PSK profile, the pre-shared-key girly 🎀
• IWL_MEI_AKM_AUTH_SAE — SAE profile, the modern one, main character energy ✨

---

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

so like, real talk: note that those values are dictated by the CSME firmware API (see sap.h). not us, not you, the firmware said what it said. no cap 😭

💫 that's the whole page bestie, you ate that. go read the kernel source and slay.

later babes 💅 this one came from ./drivers/net/wireless/intel/i... and it's dated October 2026 — literally from the future, obsessed 🫶
