ieee80211_get_rx_led_name(9)

💅 ieee80211_get_rx_led_name(9) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the ieee80211_get_rx_led_name(9) page from the Kernel API Manual. this one is short and sweet: it hands you the RX LED trigger name so your LED device can link up automatically. 💖

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

ieee80211_get_rx_led_name — get name of RX LED. that’s the whole assignment, and it ate. 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

the signature is literally giving:

const char * ieee80211_get_rx_led_name (struct ieee80211_hw *hw );

---

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

• hw — the hardware you’re getting the LED trigger name for. that’s the only arg, and it’s carrying the whole vibe. 🦋

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here’s the lore: mac80211 creates a receive LED trigger for each wireless hardware that can be used to drive LEDs — but only if your driver registers a LED device. This function returns the name of that trigger (or NULL if it’s not configured for LEDs) so you can automatically link the LED device. it’s giving “pls connect the blinkenlights” energy. ✨

---

💖 RETURN 💖

you get the name of the LED trigger. if LEDs aren’t configured, you get NULL — no name, no trigger, no cap. 😭

this section is a whole group chat, so I’m dropping the full squad exactly as listed — nobody gets left on read:
