STRUCT ATH5K_GAIN(9)

✨ struct ath5k_gain(9) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual 🫶 — today's main character is struct ath5k_gain, and it's literally the RF Gain optimization engine state data 💅 like, no cap, that's the whole vibe.

---

🎀 NAME 🎀

struct ath5k_gain — the RF Gain optimization engine state data ✨ that's it, that's the girl 💁‍♀️

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct ath5k_gain {
    u8 g_step_idx;
    u8 g_current;
    u8 g_target;
    u8 g_low;
    u8 g_high;
    u8 g_f_corr;
    u8 g_state;
 };

look at her 🥹 seven little u8 fields, all cozy in one struct, and this is what we're talking about. copy it exactly, don't be weird about it 🙈

💖 Members 💖

so here's the breakdown of every single member, because we do NOT skip anybody in this house 👑

• g_step_idx — Current step index — like, which step of the whole gain journey we're on rn 🚶‍♀️
• g_current — Current gain — the gain value she's got going on right now, periodt 💅
• g_target — Target gain — the gain we're manifesting ✨ literally the goal.
• g_low — Low gain boundary — the floor, the boundary at the bottom, don't go below it 🚫
• g_high — High gain boundary — the ceiling, the upper boundary, don't go above, iykyk 🔥
• g_f_corr — Gain_F correction — the correction factor, slay 🦋
• g_state — One of enum ath5k_rfgain — yeah, it's one of those, not making this up 💀

okay that's the whole page, bestie, you ate that 💖✨

and for the cute sign-off: this little icon lives in ./drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath5k, dated October 2026, and it goes by struct ath5k_gain(9) 🎀 go forth and gain-optimize, ily 🫶
