🌸 NAME 🌸

rsi_hal_key_config — this function loads the keys into the firmware. that's it, that's the whole vibe 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int rsi_hal_key_config (struct ieee80211_hw *hw , struct ieee80211_vif
*vif , struct ieee80211_key_conf *key , struct ieee80211_sta *sta );

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• hw — a pointer to the ieee80211_hw structure. yes girl, the big one 💖
• vif — a pointer to the ieee80211_vif structure. the virtual interface representation, she's living her best life ✨
• key — a pointer to the ieee80211_key_conf structure. this is the actual key bestie, the main character 🔑👑
• sta — a pointer to the ieee80211_sta structure. the station, love her 💜
