ENUM IWL_TOF_INITIATOR_FLAGS(9)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so this is enum iwl_tof_initiator_flags — the TOF initiator flags, bestie. It's from the Kernel API Manual (yes, that's the manual name, we're fancy here ✨) and it's basically the little switchboard of vibes you flip when your Wi-Fi card wants to go do some FTM ranging. 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

Like, here's the whole enum in its full glory, no edits, no cap:

enum iwl_tof_initiator_flags {
    IWL_TOF_INITIATOR_FLAGS_FAST_ALGO_DISABLED ,
    IWL_TOF_INITIATOR_FLAGS_RX_CHAIN_SEL_A ,
    IWL_TOF_INITIATOR_FLAGS_RX_CHAIN_SEL_B ,
    IWL_TOF_INITIATOR_FLAGS_RX_CHAIN_SEL_C ,
    IWL_TOF_INITIATOR_FLAGS_TX_CHAIN_SEL_A ,
    IWL_TOF_INITIATOR_FLAGS_TX_CHAIN_SEL_B ,
    IWL_TOF_INITIATOR_FLAGS_TX_CHAIN_SEL_C ,
    IWL_TOF_INITIATOR_FLAGS_MACADDR_RANDOM ,
    IWL_TOF_INITIATOR_FLAGS_SPECIFIC_CALIB ,
    IWL_TOF_INITIATOR_FLAGS_COMMON_CALIB ,
    IWL_TOF_INITIATOR_FLAGS_NON_ASAP_SUPPORT

};

🎀 CONSTANTS 🎀

🌸 the flags themselves 🌸

bestie there are eleven of them and each one has main character energy in its own way. Here we go:

• IWL_TOF_INITIATOR_FLAGS_FAST_ALGO_DISABLED — turns the fast algo OFF, meaning it runs the algo on antennas A+B instead of only one of them. like it's doing the extra credit version, lowkey 💅
• IWL_TOF_INITIATOR_FLAGS_RX_CHAIN_SEL_A — opens RX antenna A for FTMs RX 📡
• IWL_TOF_INITIATOR_FLAGS_RX_CHAIN_SEL_B — opens RX antenna B for FTMs RX 📡
• IWL_TOF_INITIATOR_FLAGS_RX_CHAIN_SEL_C — opens RX antenna C for FTMs RX 📡
• IWL_TOF_INITIATOR_FLAGS_TX_CHAIN_SEL_A — uses antenna A for TX ACKs during FTM 🫶
• IWL_TOF_INITIATOR_FLAGS_TX_CHAIN_SEL_B — uses antenna B for TX ACKs during FTM 🫶
• IWL_TOF_INITIATOR_FLAGS_TX_CHAIN_SEL_C — uses antenna C for TX ACKs during FTM 🫶
• IWL_TOF_INITIATOR_FLAGS_MACADDR_RANDOM — uses a random MAC address for FTM 🙈 (incognito mode era, honestly iconic)
• IWL_TOF_INITIATOR_FLAGS_SPECIFIC_CALIB — uses the specific calib value from the range request command ✨
• IWL_TOF_INITIATOR_FLAGS_COMMON_CALIB — uses the common calib value from the range request command ✨
• IWL_TOF_INITIATOR_FLAGS_NON_ASAP_SUPPORT — supports non-asap measurements ⏳ (not everything has to be ASAP, and honestly? respect)

ngl that see-also list is giving "tag yourself, I'm iwl_tof_range_req_cmd_v13" energy 💀

and that's the whole page, bestie — from ./drivers/net/wireless/intel/i... (the source lives there 🌈) and dated October 2026, filed under enum iwl_tof...tiator_flags(9). go forth and range, you absolute icon 👑💖
