ENUM QLINK_HW_CAPAB(9)

🦋 enum qlink_hw_capab — device capabilities 💅

okay so bestie, this is a page straight out of the Kernel API Manual and it's genuinely such a slay little enum. no cap, if you've ever wondered "wait, what can this Quantenna wireless thing actually do", this is the list. it's giving "menu of superpowers" ✨

---

✨ NAME ✨

enum qlink_hw_capab — device capabilities. literally just the whole vibe of "here's what the hardware can handle" 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

here's the whole thing, exactly as it lives in the header, don't @ me:

enum qlink_hw_capab {
    QLINK_HW_CAPAB_REG_UPDATE ,
    QLINK_HW_CAPAB_STA_INACT_TIMEOUT ,
    QLINK_HW_CAPAB_DFS_OFFLOAD ,
    QLINK_HW_CAPAB_SCAN_RANDOM_MAC_ADDR ,
    QLINK_HW_CAPAB_PWR_MGMT ,
    QLINK_HW_CAPAB_OBSS_SCAN ,
    QLINK_HW_CAPAB_SCAN_DWELL ,
    QLINK_HW_CAPAB_SAE ,
    QLINK_HW_CAPAB_HW_BRIDGE ,
    QLINK_HW_CAPAB_NUM

};

💜 Constants 💜

okay so this is the part where each constant gets its moment in the spotlight, main character energy each one 👑

• QLINK_HW_CAPAB_REG_UPDATE — device can update it's regulatory region. (that apostrophe is the page's apostrophe, i'm not touching it, iykyk 🫶)
• QLINK_HW_CAPAB_STA_INACT_TIMEOUT — device implements a logic to kick-out associated STAs due to inactivity. the inactivity timeout period is taken from QLINK_CMD_START_AP parameters. so yeah, it will notice you ghosted and it will act on it 💀
• QLINK_HW_CAPAB_DFS_OFFLOAD — device implements DFS offload functionality 🔥
• QLINK_HW_CAPAB_SCAN_RANDOM_MAC_ADDR — device supports MAC Address Randomization in probe requests. incognito mode but make it 802.11 🙈
• QLINK_HW_CAPAB_PWR_MGMT — -- undescribed --. the page literally just leaves you on read here, bestie 😭
• QLINK_HW_CAPAB_OBSS_SCAN — device can perform OBSS scanning.
• QLINK_HW_CAPAB_SCAN_DWELL — -- undescribed --. again. the mystery. the intrigue. 🕵️‍♀️
• QLINK_HW_CAPAB_SAE — -- undescribed --. (three for three, the docs are being shy)
• QLINK_HW_CAPAB_HW_BRIDGE — device has hardware switch capabilities. lowkey iconic 🎀
• QLINK_HW_CAPAB_NUM — -- undescribed --. classic sentinel-that-says-nothing moment ⭐

ngl bestie, when the page has nothing to say it just tells you -- undescribed -- and honestly? relatable. don't fill the silence with lies. periodt 💅

and that's the whole page!! 🫶 this lil number came from ./drivers/net/wireless/quanten... (yes it's truncated like that, i don't make the rules) and it's dated October 2026 — same title front and back, enum qlink_hw_capab(9), cute little bookends. go forth and check your hw capabs, mwah 💖🌈
