📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

✨ priv_to_wiphy ✨

okay so this is priv_to_wiphy(9) from the Kernel API Manual, and honestly? she's a short queen and she knows it 💅

🎀 NAME 🎀

priv_to_wiphy — returns the wiphy that contains the priv, bestie. that's it. that's the whole job 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct wiphy * priv_to_wiphy (void *priv );

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • priv — a pointer that was previously returned by wiphy_priv. like, the whole bit is that you already got this thing out of wiphy_priv and now you're going the other way. iykyk 🧚

⭐ RETURN ⭐

The wiphy of priv, periodt. that's what you get back 🎀 no cap, no surprises.

and yeah, that's genuinely the entire first chunk — more coming, don't go anywhere 💜

🔍 SEE ALSO 🔍

okay bestie, this is the part where the page stops explaining and just lists everyone. it's giving group-chat roster energy — the whole squad, name by name, and we are not skipping a single one 😤 every entry below is here exactly as it appears, in the exact same order, no cap. grab a snack, we're going down the whole list 💅

first up, the header that started it all, then the intro-level lore:

and now the actions & configuration girlies, aka the ones who actually do stuff ✨:

struct wiphy herself and her whole entourage 👑 — the way this block just goes on forever:

utility functions — the little helpers who fix everything behind the scenes, obsessed with them 🎀:

data path helpers — the ones moving the actual packets, doing the most 💅:

regulatory enforcement infrastructure — the rules girlies, they will absolutely tell on you 🌸:

the scan/BSS notification squad and the mlme besties ✨:

RFkill integration, Vendor commands, and Test mode — three lil sections that get exactly one shoutout each 🫶:

and the last chunk — connect / roam / notify / mgmt, the whole finale 😭💖:

bestie that's the whole roster, and yes you do have to at least know these exist — iykyk 💀 no skipping, that's the whole point of a SEE ALSO list 🫶

okay the reading list continues, bestie — here's the rest of the squad, no cap 🫶

that's a wrap on the reading list, bestie — go click through them at your own pace, iykyk 💖

and for the receipts: this page lives in ./include/net, it's dated October 2026, and it's the manual page for priv_to_wiphy(9) — screenshot it, cite it, print it out and stick it on your wall, she's iconic 🔥👑🎀
