πŸ’– STRUCT BRCMF_AUTH_REQ_STATUS_LE (9) πŸ’–

okay bestie, gather round, because today we're looking at a page from the Kernel API Manual and honestly? it's giving "little struct that could" ✨ this one's a manual-page entry for struct brcmf_auth_req_status_le, and no cap, it's just here doing its job, holding external auth request and status update info like a tiny little backpack πŸŽ’


🌸 NAME 🌸

    __le16 flags;
    u8 peer_mac[ETH_ALEN];
    __le32 ssid_len;
    u8 ssid[IEEE80211_MAX_SSID_LEN];
    u8 pmkid[WLAN_PMKID_LEN];
 };

πŸŽ€ Members πŸŽ€

the whole squad, one by one, no member left behind 😀

  • flags β€” the flags for external auth status 🚩 like lil status stickers for the auth situation
  • peer_mac β€” the peer MAC address πŸ’» your buddy's hardware address, the "who is this" of it all
