rsi_send_auto_rate_request(9)

💖 rsi_send_auto_rate_request(9) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the rsi_send_auto_rate_request(9) page from the Kernel API Manual ✨ this one's short and sweet and honestly kind of a baddie — it's the function that sets the rates for a connection and then sends the autorate request off to the firmware. like it's giving "i picked the vibes, now go tell the hardware" energy 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

int rsi_send_auto_rate_request (struct rsi_common *common , struct
ieee80211_sta *sta , u16 sta_id , struct ieee80211_vif *vif );

literally that's the whole signature, no cap 💅 four args in, an int out. she's efficient.

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

okay so here's who's who in the group chat:

• common — pointer to the driver private structure. yes she's that girl, the one holding all the private deets 🫶
• sta — the mac80211 station. the station in question, the main character of this connection ngl 👑
• sta_id — station id. a u16, so she's got room, and she's just here to tell everyone which station we're talking about 🎀
• vif — pointer to the ieee80211_vif structure. the virtual interface showing up to the party 🌈

---

⭐ RETURN ⭐

• 0 on success 🔥
• corresponding error code on failure 😭 (so like, check it, don't just assume slay)

ngl if you're touching any of these you're already deep in the wifi driver trenches — go read the source file above, it's right there 🫡

aaaand that's the page!! mwah 💋 this one came from ./drivers/net/wireless/rsi, dated October 2026 — xoxo, the kernel docs, slay 💅✨🦋
