STRUCT ATH5K_TX_STATUS(9)

💅 struct ath5k_tx_status(9) 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for struct ath5k_tx_status — it's the TX Status descriptor and honestly? she's iconic. this is the page for struct ath5k_tx_status(9), so like… strap in 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

struct ath5k_tx_status — the TX Status descriptor, no cap 💖

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

okay so here's the whole glow-up, literally the entire struct, every field exactly as-is because we do not mess with the source:

struct ath5k_tx_status {
    u16 ts_seqnum;
    u16 ts_tstamp;
    u8 ts_status;
    u8 ts_final_idx;
    u8 ts_final_retry;
    s8 ts_rssi;
    u8 ts_shortretry;
    u8 ts_virtcol;
    u8 ts_antenna;
 };

look at her. nine fields. main character energy ✨

🦋 Members 🦋

• ts_seqnum — the sequence number, bestie. that's the vibe 💫
• ts_tstamp — the timestamp 🕐
• ts_status — the status code, iykyk
• ts_final_idx — final transmission series index 👑
• ts_final_retry — final retry count 🔁
• ts_rssi — RSSI for the received ACK, literally the signal glow-up 📶
• ts_shortretry — short retry count 🫶
• ts_virtcol — virtual collision count 💀
• ts_antenna — which antenna was used, antenna era 🌈

---

💜 Description 💜

so the TX status descriptor gets filled by the hw on each transmission attempt — every single time the hardware tries to send something, she gets populated. that's it, that's the lore 🧚 periodt.

ngl that one sentence is the whole description and we're keeping it exactly, because facts are facts 💅
