ENUM QLINK_CMD_TYPE(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

okay so bestie, welcome to the glow-up of the century: this is the manual page for enum qlink_cmd_type, straight out of the Kernel API Manual ✨. It's literally the list of supported commands — the whole menu of stuff a driver can ask the wireless device to do 🎀.

👑 CONSTANTS 👑

so here's the tea on each one, one by one, bestie 🍓

  • QLINK_CMD_FW_INIT — -- undescribed -- (the source literally has nothing for this one, we move 🙈)
  • QLINK_CMD_FW_DEINIT — -- undescribed -- 💀
  • QLINK_CMD_REGISTER_MGMT — -- undescribed -- ✨
  • QLINK_CMD_SEND_FRAME — sends the specified frame over the air; the firmware will encapsulate the 802.3 packet into an 802.11 frame automatically. it's giving auto-conversion icon behavior 🔥
  • QLINK_CMD_MGMT_SET_APPIE — -- undescribed -- 🎀
  • QLINK_CMD_PHY_PARAMS_SET — -- undescribed -- 🌸
  • QLINK_CMD_GET_HW_INFO — -- undescribed -- 🦋
  • QLINK_CMD_MAC_INFO — -- undescribed -- 💜
  • QLINK_CMD_ADD_INTF — -- undescribed -- ⭐
  • QLINK_CMD_DEL_INTF — -- undescribed -- 🧚
  • QLINK_CMD_CHANGE_INTF — -- undescribed -- 🌈
  • QLINK_CMD_UPDOWN_INTF — -- undescribed -- 😭
  • QLINK_CMD_REG_NOTIFY — notifies the device about a regulatory domain change ✨. This command is supported only if the device reports the QLINK_HW_SUPPORTS_REG_UPDATE capability. (vibe check first, always 🫶)
  • QLINK_CMD_BAND_INFO_GET — for the specified MAC and the specified band, it grabs that band's description: number of operational channels, info on each channel, HT/VHT capabilities, supported rates, etc. 📊 This command is generic to a specified MAC, so the interface index must be set to QLINK_VIFID_RSVD in the command header. no skipping that, bestie 👀
  • QLINK_CMD_CHAN_SWITCH — -- undescribed -- 🌸
  • QLINK_CMD_CHAN_GET — -- undescribed -- 🎀
  • QLINK_CMD_START_CAC — starts the radar detection procedure on the specified channel 🦋 (radar girlies rise)
  • QLINK_CMD_START_AP — -- undescribed -- 💜
  • QLINK_CMD_STOP_AP — -- undescribed -- ⭐
  • QLINK_CMD_SET_MAC_ACL — -- undescribed -- 🧚
  • QLINK_CMD_GET_STA_INFO — -- undescribed -- 🌈
  • QLINK_CMD_ADD_KEY — -- undescribed -- 😭
  • QLINK_CMD_DEL_KEY — -- undescribed -- 🙈
  • QLINK_CMD_SET_DEFAULT_KEY — -- undescribed -- 💀
  • QLINK_CMD_SET_DEFAULT_MGMT_KEY — -- undescribed -- 🔥
  • QLINK_CMD_CHANGE_STA — -- undescribed -- ✨
  • QLINK_CMD_DEL_STA — -- undescribed -- 🎀
  • QLINK_CMD_SCAN — -- undescribed -- 🌸
  • QLINK_CMD_CHAN_STATS — -- undescribed -- 🦋
  • QLINK_CMD_NDEV_EVENT — signalizes changes made with a corresponding network device 📡 (it's the messenger, periodt)
  • QLINK_CMD_CONNECT — -- undescribed -- 💜
  • QLINK_CMD_DISCONNECT — -- undescribed -- ⭐
  • QLINK_CMD_PM_SET — -- undescribed -- 🧚
  • QLINK_CMD_WOWLAN_SET — -- undescribed -- 🌈
  • QLINK_CMD_EXTERNAL_AUTH — -- undescribed -- 😭
  • QLINK_CMD_TXPWR — gets or sets the current channel transmit power for the specified MAC ⚡ (main character energy fr fr)
  • QLINK_CMD_UPDATE_OWE — -- undescribed -- 🙈

🌟 DESCRIPTION 🌟

okay so the big picture: commands are QLINK messages of type QLINK_MSG_TYPE_CMD, sent by the driver to the wireless network device for processing 💌.

The device is expected to send back a reply message of type QLINK_MSG_TYPE_CMDRSP, and that reply contains at least the command execution status — one of enum qlink_cmd_result — and it may also carry a data payload specific to the command type. so yeah, it's a whole conversation, not a monologue 🗣️✨
