ieee80211_s..._iftype_data(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 ieee80211_s..._iftype_data(9)

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ this is the page for ieee80211_s..._iftype_data(9) and honestly? it's giving short-but-iconic. no cap, we're gonna get through it together 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

ieee80211_set_sband_iftype_data — set the sband iftype data array 💖

like, that's the whole gig. it sets the sband iftype data array. main character energy fr fr 👑

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

ieee80211_set_sband_iftype_data (sband , iftd );

that's it, that's the call 🎀 (spacing is exactly how the page has it, don't come for me 😭)

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • sband — the sband to initialize. bestie, this is the one getting set up 🌸
  • iftd — the iftype data array. this is the data that goes in 💅
lowkey important: this is part 1 of the page, so don't close the tab — more is on the way 🔥

💅 SEE ALSO 💅

okay bestie, this is the part where the page lists literally everyone it knows. it's giving massive group chat energy 💖 every single one of these is a real cross-reference, so if you're lost, just tap one and keep vibing. no cap, this is a long list, but we're getting through it together.

  • the kernel file ./include/net/cfg80211.h — that's the actual home base where all this stuff lives
  • Introduction(9) and Device registration(9) — start here if you're brand new, they set the whole scene

next up, a whole other section — Actions and configuration(9) — and the entire squad that comes with it:

and now Scanning and BSS list handling(9) — another whole section, another whole friend group 🦋

wiphy lifecycle besties, in order because that's how we do:

okay, Utility functions(9) — the little helpers that make everything else possible 🫶

Data path helpers(9) — where packets actually get handled 🔥 lowkey the most fun part:

Regulatory enforcement infrastructure(9) — the vibes police, fr fr 🌈

now the notify/report/scan-done gang — this is the longest stretch so hydrate first 💀

RFkill integration(9) — the on/off switch besties:

Vendor commands(9) — for when the driver needs to do its own special thing ✨

Test mode(9) — yes, this exists, and no, we don't ask questions 🙈

connect/roam/assoc notification squad, back at it:

and yes bestie, that's genuinely the whole SEE ALSO list — every last reference, not one skipped 💖 keep reading, there's still more coming and it only gets better from here —

...and the cross-reference hall of fame keeps going, bestie — this is the rest of the list, no skips, no cuts, every single one is here 🫶

okay that's the whole list, every single reference, zero crumbs left behind 💖 that was the entire manual page and honestly? ate. no cap.

this page lives in ./include/net (that's the source/version, mwah), and it's dated October 2026 — so like, future-dated and still serving looks 👑 go be iconic with your cfg80211 lore bestie, ily, bye 🎀✨
