💫 rsi_send_internal_mgmt_frame(9) — Kernel API Manual, section 9 🎀

okay bestie, welcome to section 9 of the Kernel API Manual ✨ (yes the header up top is all truncate-y and says rsi_send_int...l_mgmt_frame(9) — it's giving "my name got cut off in the group chat preview", but the full name is right here 💅).

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

rsi_send_internal_mgmt_frame — this function sends management frames to firmware. Also schedules packet to queue for transmission. like it literally does both, no cap 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int rsi_send_internal_mgmt_frame (struct rsi_common *common , struct sk_buff *skb );

so it hands back an int, takes your common and your skb, and off it goes 🦋

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• common — Pointer to the driver private structure. that's your driver's whole private lil world, keep it safe 🙈
• skb — Pointer to the socket buffer structure. the actual buffer of packet goodness 📦

---

💖 RETURN 💖

• 0 on success 🔥
• -1 on failure 💀

that's it, that's the whole vibe check. binary queen behavior 👑
