rt2x00queue_align_frame(9)

✨ NAME ✨

okay so bestie, this is rt2x00queue_align_frame from the Kernel API Manual 💅 and what it does is literally align an 802.11 frame to a 4-byte boundary. that's the whole vibe. 🎀

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void rt2x00queue_align_frame (struct sk_buff *skb );

yes the space before that closing paren is real, don't come for me, copy it exactly 🫶

---

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• skb — the skb you want to align. that's it. that's the whole argument. she's low maintenance. ✨

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So here's the tea ☕ — this function aligns the start of the 802.11 frame to a 4-byte boundary.

and like… that's genuinely it, but bestie, hear me: the flip side is that this could mean the payload is not aligned properly. 😭 not a bug, just the trade-off, and the manpage says it out loud so you know what you're signing up for. no cap.

so yes: frame start = aligned. payload = maybe not. keep that in mind before you get too excited. 💀
