ENUM IWL_MVM_LMAC_SCAN_FLAGS(9)

💅 enum iwl_mvm_lmac_scan_flags — a Kernel API Manual moment

okay so bestie, welcome to the manual page for enum iwl_mvm_lmac_scan_flags, straight out of the Kernel API Manual. this is the LMAC scan flags enum and it is literally the mood board for how the firmware wants to go scanning. every flag is a whole personality. let's go 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

enum iwl_mvm_lmac_scan_flags — LMAC scan flags. that's it, that's the name, and it ate 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

enum iwl_mvm_lmac_scan_flags {
    IWL_MVM_LMAC_SCAN_FLAG_PASS_ALL ,
    IWL_MVM_LMAC_SCAN_FLAG_PASSIVE ,
    IWL_MVM_LMAC_SCAN_FLAG_PRE_CONNECTION ,
    IWL_MVM_LMAC_SCAN_FLAG_ITER_COMPLETE ,
    IWL_MVM_LMAC_SCAN_FLAG_MULTIPLE_SSIDS ,
    IWL_MVM_LMAC_SCAN_FLAG_FRAGMENTED ,
    IWL_MVM_LMAC_SCAN_FLAGS_RRM_ENABLED ,
    IWL_MVM_LMAC_SCAN_FLAG_EXTENDED_DWELL ,
    IWL_MVM_LMAC_SCAN_FLAG_MATCH

};

🎀 Constants 🎀

okay so here's the whole squad, one by one, no skipping, no cap 👑

• IWL_MVM_LMAC_SCAN_FLAG_PASS_ALL — pass all beacons and probe responses without filtering. no gatekeeping, everything gets through 💖
• IWL_MVM_LMAC_SCAN_FLAG_PASSIVE — force passive scan on all channels. every channel gets the quiet treatment, ngl
• IWL_MVM_LMAC_SCAN_FLAG_PRE_CONNECTION — single channel scan. just the one, she's lowkey focused 🎯
• IWL_MVM_LMAC_SCAN_FLAG_ITER_COMPLETE — send iteration complete notification. you will be told when the loop finishes, periodt
• IWL_MVM_LMAC_SCAN_FLAG_MULTIPLE_SSIDS — multiple SSID matching. more than one network name in the mix, iconic
• IWL_MVM_LMAC_SCAN_FLAG_FRAGMENTED — all passive scans will be fragmented. it's giving "we're splitting this up" 🫶
• IWL_MVM_LMAC_SCAN_FLAGS_RRM_ENABLED — insert WFA vendor-specific TPC report and DS parameter set IEs into probe requests. fancy little extras hitching a ride in the probe requests ✨
• IWL_MVM_LMAC_SCAN_FLAG_EXTENDED_DWELL — use extended dwell time on channels 1, 6 and 11. the holy trinity of channels get extra hangout time 🌈
• IWL_MVM_LMAC_SCAN_FLAG_MATCH — Send match found notification on matches. when it matches, you'll know 💀
