il3945_rate_scale_init(9)

💅 il3945_rate_scale_init(9)

okay so bestie, real talk: this page lives in the Kernel API Manual (that's the manual name, keep it in your notes 📓), and it's all about one lil function that sets up your rate scaling table. let's get into it ✨

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

il3945_rate_scale_init — literally initializes the rate scale table based on assoc info. that's it. that's the whole vibe 🫶

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

void il3945_rate_scale_init (struct ieee80211_hw *hw , s32 sta_id );

no cap, that's the signature. two args, returns nothing (void), main character energy only 👑

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• hw — -- undescribed -- 😭 i know, i know. the manpage said nothing about it. the docs ghosted us on this one. everything i'm allowed to tell you is that it's a struct ieee80211_hw *.
• sta_id — -- undescribed -- 💀 same situation bestie. it's an s32, and that's genuinely all the page gives us. not me being unhelpful, blame the upstream docs 🙈

fr fr: both of these are marked -- undescribed -- in the original. i'm not gonna invent lore that isn't there — that would be a fake spoiler 🚫

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so the specific throughput table it uses? that's picked based on the type of network the thing is associated with — including A, B, G, and G w/ TGG protection. yes, TGG, exactly like that, don't @ me 🌈

that's the whole description. short and slay. highkey iconic that a whole kernel function gets four lines of prose 💅

👑 SEE ALSO 👑

bestie this list is LONG and it ate, so buckle up 🍓 — the kernel file is ./drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlegacy/common.h, and it wants you to also go look at:

• struct il_device_cmd(9)
• struct il_device_cmd_huge(9)
• struct il_rx_queue(9)
• struct il_ht_agg(9)
• struct il_vif_priv(9)
• struct il_hw_params(9)
• struct il_cfg(9)
• il_clear_driver_stations(9)
• il_sta_id_or_broadcast(9)
• il_queue_inc_wrap(9)
• il_queue_dec_wrap(9)
• il_beacon_time_mask_low(9)
• il_beacon_time_mask_high(9)
• struct il_rb_status(9)
• struct il_tfd_tb(9)
• struct il_tfd(9)
• struct il_rate_scale_data(9)
• struct il_scale_tbl_info(9)
• struct il_lq_sta(9)

like, that's the whole friend group right there 😭 go read 'em, iykyk 💜

🧚 quick vibe check: struct il_device_cmd(9) and struct il_device_cmd_huge(9) are two separate entries, don't merge them, they are different besties and they deserve their own lines.

that's the whole page, bestie — source path starts with ./drivers/net/wireless/intel/i... (truncated in the original footer, so that's all we get 🎀) and the date stamp is October 2026. mwah, go forth and scale those rates 💋🔥
