ENUM IWL_STA_KEY_FLAG(9)

✨ enum iwl_sta_key_flag ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the enum iwl_sta_key_flag page from the Kernel API Manual — yes that's the whole title, she's a mouthful, but she's iconic. This is all about the key flags for the ADD_STA host command, and honestly? it's giving "small enum, big responsibilities" 💅

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

enum iwl_sta_key_flag — the key flags for the ADD_STA host command, periodt.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

literally the whole enum, look at her:

enum iwl_sta_key_flag {
    STA_KEY_FLG_NO_ENC ,
    STA_KEY_FLG_WEP ,
    STA_KEY_FLG_CCM ,
    STA_KEY_FLG_TKIP ,
    STA_KEY_FLG_EXT ,
    STA_KEY_FLG_GCMP ,
    STA_KEY_FLG_CMAC ,
    STA_KEY_FLG_ENC_UNKNOWN ,
    STA_KEY_FLG_EN_MSK ,

    STA_KEY_MFP

};

🦋 CONSTANTS 🦋

okay so here's the whole cast, one by one, no skips, no cuts 🌈

• STA_KEY_FLG_NO_ENC — no encryption. that's it, that's the vibe, absolutely nothing is scrambled here 🙈
• STA_KEY_FLG_WEP — WEP encryption algorithm.
• STA_KEY_FLG_CCM — CCMP encryption algorithm.
• STA_KEY_FLG_TKIP — TKIP encryption algorithm.
• STA_KEY_FLG_EXT — extended cipher algorithm, and lowkey this one depends on the FW support, so don't come for her if the firmware's not feeling it 😭
• STA_KEY_FLG_GCMP — GCMP encryption algorithm.
• STA_KEY_FLG_CMAC — CMAC encryption algorithm.
• STA_KEY_FLG_ENC_UNKNOWN — unknown encryption algorithm. mystery era 🕵️
• STA_KEY_FLG_EN_MSK — the mask for the encryption algorithmi value (not my typo, she came like that, we respect her 💀)
• STA_KEY_FLG_WEP_KEY_MAP — wep is either a group key (0 — legacy WEP) or from the station info array (1 — n 1X mode). pick a lane bestie 🫶
• STA_KEY_FLG_AMSDU_SPP — SPP (signaling and payload protected) A-MSDU. protected and signaling, she does both 💅
• STA_KEY_FLG_KEYID_POS — the key index bit position.
• STA_KEY_FLG_KEYID_MSK — the index of the key.
• STA_KEY_NOT_VALID — key is invalid. 🚩 not me trusting an invalid key, couldn't be me
• STA_KEY_FLG_WEP_13BYTES — set for a 13 byte WEP key.
• STA_KEY_FLG_KEY_32BYTES — for a non-wep key, set for a 32 byte key.
• STA_KEY_MULTICAST — set for a multical key (again, her spelling, I'm just the messenger 🍓) — you know, multicast group key energy, main character of the group chat 👑
• STA_KEY_MFP — key is used for Management Frame Protection. protection?! we love to see it ✨

ngl bestie, that's the whole page. every flag, every mask, every byte count, nothing dropped 🧚

and that's a wrap! this lil page lives over at ./drivers/net/wireless/intel/i... and it's dated October 2026 — so yeah, she's from the future, we stan a forward-thinking queen ⭐ mwah, go forth and encrypt responsibly 🔥
