ENUM MESH_CONFIG_CAPAB_FLAGS(9)

💅 enum mesh_config_capab_flags — Kernel API Manual, bestie edition

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual (yes, that one) and it's all about enum mesh_config_capab_flags, which honestly has main character energy for something that's just a bunch of capability bits. iykyk. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

enum mesh_config_capab_flags — the Mesh Configuration IE capability field flags. that's it, that's the vibe check 💖

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

enum mesh_config_capab_flags {
    IEEE80211_MESHCONF_CAPAB_ACCEPT_PLINKS ,
    IEEE80211_MESHCONF_CAPAB_FORWARDING ,
    IEEE80211_MESHCONF_CAPAB_TBTT_ADJUSTING ,
    IEEE80211_MESHCONF_CAPAB_POWER_SAVE_LEVEL

};

like, look at her. four little enumerators, all slaying in their own lane. no cap. 👑

✨ Constants ✨

• IEEE80211_MESHCONF_CAPAB_ACCEPT_PLINKS — the STA is literally willing to establish additional mesh peerings with other mesh STAs. she's open to new friends 🫶
• IEEE80211_MESHCONF_CAPAB_FORWARDING — the STA forwards MSDUs. yes bestie, she's a giver 💅
• IEEE80211_MESHCONF_CAPAB_TBTT_ADJUSTING — the TBTT adjustment procedure is ongoing rn. don't interrupt her, she's processing 😭
• IEEE80211_MESHCONF_CAPAB_POWER_SAVE_LEVEL — the STA is in deep sleep mode, or has neighbors in deep sleep mode. nap era activated 💀💤

💬 Description 💬

so what is this actually? it enumerates the "Mesh Capability" as described in IEEE Std 802.11-2020 section 9.4.2.97.7. that's the whole assignment. she said "read the spec, it's giving section 9.4.2.97.7" 📖✨

and that's the page, bestie! filed under ./include/linux, dated October 2026, and yes she's still going by enum mesh_co..._capab_flags(9) at the top of every page because the column was too narrow to fit her full name. iconic behavior, honestly. 🎀💜
