ENUM NL80211_WIPHY_RADIO_ATTRS(9)
π enum nl80211_wiphy_radio_attrs(9) β bestie's guide to wiphy radio attributes β¨
okay so this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual, and it's literally the enum that describes the radio attributes hanging off a wiphy. yes, that wiphy. we're doing kernel networking today, it's giving main character energy, let's go π
β¨ NAME β¨
enum nl80211_wiphy_radio_attrs β wiphy radio attributes π
π¦ SYNOPSIS π¦
enum nl80211_wiphy_radio_attrs {
__NL80211_WIPHY_RADIO_ATTR_INVALID ,
NL80211_WIPHY_RADIO_ATTR_INDEX ,
NL80211_WIPHY_RADIO_ATTR_FREQ_RANGE ,

NL80211_WIPHY_RADIO_ATTR_RTS_THRESHOLD ,
__NL80211_WIPHY_RADIO_ATTR_LAST ,

};
like, that's the whole shape of it. no cap. πΈ

okay this is the part you actually came for, so pay attention bestie π
__NL80211_WIPHY_RADIO_ATTR_INVALIDβ the invalid one. it's just there being invalid. iconic behaviour honestly πNL80211_WIPHY_RADIO_ATTR_INDEXβ the index of this radio, and it's au32in case you were wondering π«ΆNL80211_WIPHY_RADIO_ATTR_FREQ_RANGEβ the frequency range this radio supports. and listen: this attribute may be present multiple times. so don't be weird about it when you see it twice, it's allowed β¨NL80211_WIPHY_RADIO_ATTR_INTERFACE_COMBINATIONβ the supported interface combination for this radio. also may be present multiple times, and it contains attributes defined inenum nl80211_if_combination_attrs. yes that's a whole other enum, go read it, iykyk π₯NL80211_WIPHY_RADIO_ATTR_ANTENNA_MASKβ a bitmask (u32) of the antennas connected to this radio π‘NL80211_WIPHY_RADIO_ATTR_RTS_THRESHOLDβ the RTS threshold of this radio, also au32β__NL80211_WIPHY_RADIO_ATTR_LASTβ internal. that's it. that's the whole description. we don't ask questions πNL80211_WIPHY_RADIO_ATTR_MAXβ the highest attribute, the ceiling, the final boss π

okay this list is long long, but i'm not about to gatekeep a single one of these from you, so here's every single reference, all of them, no skips π

ngl if you read all 150 of those you deserve a little treat π like genuinely, go get a snack.
okay that's the whole page bestie, you ate that π β¨
this lil cutie lives in ./include/uapi/linux, and it's dated October 2026, and the header says enum nl80211..._radio_attrs(9) β mwah, periodt π«Άπ
