STRUCT ATH5K_ATHCHAN_2GHZ(9)
β¨ struct ath5k_athchan_2ghz(9) β¨
okay so bestie, we're deep in the Kernel API Manual today and this one is a tiny little struct with a big job π it's called struct ath5k_athchan_2ghz, and it's giving "small but mighty" energy fr fr.
π SYNOPSIS
struct ath5k_athchan_2ghz {
u32 a2_flags;
u16 a2_athchan;
};
that's it. that's the whole struct. two members, no notes, iconic π
πΈ Members
a2_flagsβ the channel flags, and they're internal bestie, so don't go poking at them from outside π«Άa2_athchanβ the hardware channel number, also internal π€«
π¦ Description
okay so here's the tea β β this structure exists to map 2GHz channels to 5GHz Atheros channels on the 2111 frequency converter that comes bundled together with the RF5111 β¨ like, they're a package deal, you can't split them up π
and then there's a little note that just says:
TODO: Clean up
which, honestly? relatable. the code said "I'll deal with it later" and later never came π main character energy of an unfinished todo ngl π
