• NL802154_CAP_ATTR_IFTYPES — nl802154_iftype flags. this is where the interface types get to shine ✨
• NL802154_CAP_ATTR_CHANNELS — a nested attribute for nl802154_channel_attr. yes bestie, nested — attributes inside attributes, it's giving inception 🌀
• NL802154_CAP_ATTR_TX_POWERS — a nested attribute for nl802154_wpan_phy_tx_power. more nesting, more power, literally 🔥
• NL802154_CAP_ATTR_CCA_ED_LEVELS — -- undescribed -- 🙈 yeah it's giving mysterious main character energy, the docs just never said anything about this one, so we're not gonna invent lore fr fr
• NL802154_CAP_ATTR_CCA_MODES — nl802154_cca_modes flags. the CCA modes, all flagged up and ready 👑
• NL802154_CAP_ATTR_CCA_OPTS — nl802154_cca_opts flags. and the CCA options too, because why not both 💖
• NL802154_CAP_ATTR_MIN_MINBE — minimum of minbe value. the smallest minbe, so meta 😭
• NL802154_CAP_ATTR_MAX_MINBE — maximum of minbe value. the biggest minbe, periodt
• NL802154_CAP_ATTR_MIN_MAXBE — minimum of maxbe value. smallest maxbe, yes the naming is a whole journey, don't think about it too hard 🌸
• NL802154_CAP_ATTR_MAX_MAXBE — maximum of maxbe value. biggest maxbe, slay
• NL802154_CAP_ATTR_MIN_CSMA_BACKOFFS — minimum of csma backoff value. the floor for your backoff game ⭐
• NL802154_CAP_ATTR_MAX_CSMA_BACKOFFS — maximum of csma backoffs value. the ceiling, also known as the limit 🔥
• NL802154_CAP_ATTR_MIN_FRAME_RETRIES — minimum of frame retries value. the fewest retries you can get 🎀
• NL802154_CAP_ATTR_MAX_FRAME_RETRIES — maximum of frame retries value. the most retries, try try again energy 💀
• NL802154_CAP_ATTR_LBT — nl802154_supported_bool_states flags. LBT said "I contain multitudes" and honestly, valid 🌈
• __NL802154_CAP_ATTR_AFTER_LAST — internal use. bestie this is not for you, it's the enum's own private business 🙈
• NL802154_CAP_ATTR_MAX — highest cap attribute currently defined. the current ceiling of the whole capability situation, and it knows it 👑
