ENUM MT76_TESTMODE_ATTR(9)

💅 enum mt76_testmode_attr(9)

okay so bestie, we're in the Kernel API Manual, section 9, and today's main character is enum mt76_testmode_attr — the enum that holds all the testmode attributes living inside NL80211_ATTR_TESTDATA. it's giving "netlink but make it wifi lab equipment" ✨

✨ Constants ✨

like, every single one, no skips, we don't do that here 🫶

• MT76_TM_ATTR_UNSPEC — the (invalid attribute). it's the placeholder bestie, it does not slay, it is not invited to the party 🙈
• MT76_TM_ATTR_RESET — reset parameters to default (flag). hit it and everything goes back to factory-fresh 🧚
• MT76_TM_ATTR_STATE — test state (u32), see enum mt76_testmode_state. this is the vibe check for what the test is even doing rn 👑
• MT76_TM_ATTR_MTD_PART — mtd partition used for eeprom data (string). literally just which partition your eeprom data is chilling in 💜
• MT76_TM_ATTR_MTD_OFFSET — offset of eeprom data within the partition (u32). where inside that partition the data starts, fr fr
• MT76_TM_ATTR_TX_COUNT — configured number of frames to send when setting state to MT76_TM_STATE_TX_FRAMES (u32). so like, how many frames we're yeeting 🔥
• MT76_TM_ATTR_TX_LENGTH — packet tx mpdu length (u32)
• MT76_TM_ATTR_TX_RATE_MODE — packet tx mode (u8, see enum mt76_testmode_tx_mode)
• MT76_TM_ATTR_TX_RATE_NSS — packet tx number of spatial streams (u8)
• MT76_TM_ATTR_TX_RATE_IDX — packet tx rate/MCS index (u8)
• MT76_TM_ATTR_TX_RATE_SGI — packet tx use short guard interval (u8)
• MT76_TM_ATTR_TX_RATE_LDPC — packet tx enable LDPC (u8)
• MT76_TM_ATTR_TX_RATE_STBC — packet tx enable STBC (u8)
• MT76_TM_ATTR_TX_LTF — packet tx LTF, set 0 to 2 for 1x, 2x, and 4x LTF (u8). three little values, three little LTF flavors, iykyk 🌸
• MT76_TM_ATTR_TX_ANTENNA — tx antenna mask (u8)
• MT76_TM_ATTR_TX_POWER_CONTROL — enable tx power control (u8)
• MT76_TM_ATTR_TX_POWER — per-antenna tx power array (nested, u8 attrs). yes it's nested, yes it's per-antenna, yes she's that girl 💅
• MT76_TM_ATTR_FREQ_OFFSET — RF frequency offset (u32)
• MT76_TM_ATTR_STATS — statistics (nested, see enum mt76_testmode_stats_attr). numbers go brrr 📊
• MT76_TM_ATTR_TX_SPE_IDX — tx spatial extension index (u8)
• MT76_TM_ATTR_TX_DUTY_CYCLE — packet tx duty cycle (u8)
• MT76_TM_ATTR_TX_IPG — tx inter-packet gap, in unit of us (u32). the little breather between packets ⭐
• MT76_TM_ATTR_TX_TIME — packet transmission time, in unit of us (u32)
• MT76_TM_ATTR_DRV_DATA — driver specific netlink attrs (nested). driver's own little corner of the netlink universe 🦋
• MT76_TM_ATTR_MAC_ADDRS — array of nested MAC addresses (nested). nested in nested, we love a recursive moment 🌈
• NUM_MT76_TM_ATTRS — -- undescribed --. yeah bestie the manpage literally gives us nothing here, so i'm not gonna invent lore 😭
• MT76_TM_ATTR_MAX — -- undescribed --. same situation, the source said -- undescribed -- and we respect the source 🙈

• Kernel file ./drivers/net/wireless/mediatek/mt76/testmode.h enum mt76_testmode_rx_attr(9), enum mt76_testmode_state(9), enum mt76_testmode_tx_mode(9)

go read those, they're the supporting cast and honestly they ate 👑

lowkey a friendly reminder from your girl: this page came from ./drivers/net/wireless/mediate..., dated October 2026, and it's enum mt76_testmode_attr(9) all the way down. that's the whole footer, bestie, i didn't skip a crumb 🫶💖

kay bye, go forth and test that mode ✨🎀
