ENUM NL80211_WIPHY_RADIO_FREQ_RANGE(9)
๐ enum nl80211_wiphy_radio_freq_range โ the Kernel API Manual, bestie edition ๐
okay so this is enum nl80211_wiphy_radio_freq_range, from the Kernel API Manual, and it's literally just "what frequency range does this wiphy radio cover" โ the whole enum is a tiny little baby but it's iconic and we stan. no cap, it's short, but every constant matters. let's get into it โจ
๐ธ NAME ๐ธ
enum nl80211_wiphy_radio_freq_range โ wiphy radio frequency range, aka the min-and-max of your radio's vibe check ๐ฆ
โจ SYNOPSIS โจ
enum nl80211_wiphy_radio_freq_range {
__NL80211_WIPHY_RADIO_FREQ_ATTR_INVALID ,
NL80211_WIPHY_RADIO_FREQ_ATTR_START ,
NL80211_WIPHY_RADIO_FREQ_ATTR_END ,
__NL80211_WIPHY_RADIO_FREQ_ATTR_LAST ,
NL80211_WIPHY_RADIO_FREQ_ATTR_MAX
};
๐ CONSTANTS ๐
listen, there's only five of these and two of them are internal bookkeeping, so this is a quick scroll fr fr ๐
__NL80211_WIPHY_RADIO_FREQ_ATTR_INVALIDโ invalid, as in please-don't-use-this-ones ๐ซ it's the placeholder at the bottom of the enum, giving "do not perceive me" energy ๐ญNL80211_WIPHY_RADIO_FREQ_ATTR_STARTโ frequency range start (u32). the unit is kHz. yes, kilohertz, not MHz, not GHz, read the label bestie ๐ฅNL80211_WIPHY_RADIO_FREQ_ATTR_ENDโ frequency range end (u32). the unit is kHz, same deal as START, matching set, we love consistency ๐__NL80211_WIPHY_RADIO_FREQ_ATTR_LASTโ internal. that's it, that's the whole description, it's giving mystery ๐ซฅ don't touch, it's doing bookkeeping things behind the scenesNL80211_WIPHY_RADIO_FREQ_ATTR_MAXโ highest attribute. the ceiling, the final boss, the main character of enum bounds โญ
quick vibe check: START and END are bothu32in kHz, and everything outside the__double-underscore crew is fair game for you. the double-underscore ones are the internal squad, iykyk ๐

phew ๐ฎโ๐จ that's the whole squad tagged in. also hi, the source file lives at./include/uapi/linux/nl80211.h, and there's a slightly different-looking path on the footer:./include/uapi/linuxโ both real, both iconic, don't come for me ๐ซถ
and that's the page!! ๐ source: ./include/uapi/linux, from the Kernel API Manual, dated October 2026 โ mwah, go read your nl80211 headers bestie, ily ๐โจ
