ENUM IWL_MVM_ADD_STA_RSP_STATUS(9)
π enum iwl_mvm_add_sta_rsp_status β NAME
okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual β¨ and lemme tell you about enum iwl_mvm_add_sta_rsp_status β it's literally the status in the response to ADD_STA command. that's it, that's the whole vibe π
π¦ SYNOPSIS
enum iwl_mvm_add_sta_rsp_status {
ADD_STA_SUCCESS ,
ADD_STA_STATIONS_OVERLOAD ,
ADD_STA_IMMEDIATE_BA_FAILURE ,
ADD_STA_MODIFY_NON_EXISTING_STA
};
like, four constants, no notes, we love a tidy enum π
πΈ CONSTANTS
okay so these are the four moods this enum can be in, and each one is telling you something very specific:
ADD_STA_SUCCESSβ slay π the operation was executed successfully. bestie ate and left no crumbs.ADD_STA_STATIONS_OVERLOADβ no room left in the fw's station table π like, the firmware's little station table is full, there's literally no space, we're at capacity, it's giving sold-out concert.ADD_STA_IMMEDIATE_BA_FAILUREβ can't add Rx block ack session π the Rx block ack session just... isn't happening. it didn't go through. that's the whole thing.ADD_STA_MODIFY_NON_EXISTING_STAβ the driver requested to modify a station that doesn't exist π like, imagine trying to modify a station and the station is not there. embarrassing for everyone involved tbh. driver said "let me fix them up" and the station said "who?"

ngl bestie, every single one of those is a whole other manpage. go read them. i'll wait π
okay that's the whole thing!! this page came to you straight out of ./drivers/net/wireless/intel/i... and it's dated October 2026 β so like, from the future, main character energy fr fr β and it's filed under enum iwl_mv...a_rsp_status(9) in the Kernel API Manual because of course it is π§ mwah, bye π
