✨ regulatory_set_wiphy_regd_sync(9) ✨

okay so this is from the Kernel API Manual, bestie — like, the actual kernel docs, and this one is about setting the regulatory domain for self-managed drivers. it's giving "I handle my own regdom, thanks" energy 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

regulatory_set_wiphy_regd_sync — set regdom for self-managed drivers

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

int regulatory_set_wiphy_regd_sync (struct wiphy *wiphy , struct
       ieee80211_regdomain *rd );

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

  • wiphy — the wireless device we want to process the regulatory domain on. like, this is the actual wifi thing we're doing the regdom glow-up for 🫶
  • rd — the regulatory domain information to use for this wiphy. this is the ✨content✨ of the glow-up.

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

okay so listen: this function requires the RTNL and the wiphy mutex to be held 🔒 — no cap, that's a hard requirement, not a suggestion. with those locked down, it applies the new regdomain synchronously to this wiphy. so it's not like "fire and forget", it's "we do it right now, together, bestie" 💖

for more details see regulatory_set_wiphy_regd. (that's the async-ish sibling, iykyk — go read that one if you want the full lore 📖)

⭐ RETURN ⭐

0 on success. 💚

and if it doesn't slay, you get -EINVAL or -EPERM 😭 — those are the two possible failure codes, fr fr.

more parts coming, bestie, don't go anywhere 🧚

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

okay bestie, this is the part where the manpage goes “and here is everyone else in the group chat.” 💅 it’s a whole extended cinematic universe of (9) pages, and yes, every single one is invited to the function. no skips, no cuts, we’re doing the full roll call:

and that’s the whole SEE ALSO recital, bestie — every name present and accounted for, no cap. 💖✨

okay that's literally the whole reference squad, bestie — every single one of them in ./include/net, dated October 2026, all bundled up under regulatory_s...hy_regd_sync(9). you read the entire page, which is giving dedicated scholar energy fr fr 🎓💖 now go forth and sync those regd domains ✨🦋
