💖 ieee80211_mp...sta_local_pm(9) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — yes, the actual kernel man pages, we're doing this 🫶. Buckle up, this one's a tiny little function but she's important.

---

✨ NAME ✨

ieee80211_mps_set_sta_local_pm — sets the local PM towards a mesh STA. that's it, that's the whole job 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

u64 ieee80211_mps_set_sta_local_pm (struct sta_info *sta , enum
       nl80211_mesh_power_mode pm );

literally just copy it exactly like that, no cap — no renaming, no "fixing" the spacing, we respect the original fr fr 🎀

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• sta — the mesh STA 👑 the actual station we're pointing our local PM at.
• pm — the power mode to set, i.e. the whole vibe we're assigning ⚡ (it's an enum nl80211_mesh_power_mode, so keep it in the family).

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

Returns BSS_CHANGED_BEACON — but only if a beacon update is in order 👀. so like, sometimes she gives you a flag, sometimes she doesn't; it's giving conditional-queen energy 💀

ngl, this is kernel-level stuff — mesh power management does not play around, so treat those arguments with respect 🙈

anyway that's the whole page, periodt ✨ from ./net/mac80211, dated October 2026, and the header says ieee80211_mp...sta_local_pm(9) in case you forgot where you were 💖 mwah, go touch some mesh 🍓🦋
