STRUCT BRCMF_CFG80211_INFO(9)

🌸 struct brcmf_cfg80211_info(9) — the Kernel API Manual glow-up ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for struct brcmf_cfg80211_info 💅 this is the iconic one — the dongle private data of cfg80211 interface. yes, it's giving main character struct energy, and you're gonna understand every single field by the end of this. no cap. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

struct brcmf_cfg80211_info — dongle private data of cfg80211 interface.

like… literally the whole private-data situation for the cfg80211 interface. that's the vibe. 🎀

💖 Members 💖

okay here comes the full roster, every single member, no skips, no "omg this one's boring" — we appreciate all of them equally 🌈

• wiphy — the wiphy object for the cfg80211 interface. the whole reason we're here fr fr.
• conf — the dongle configuration. 🍓
• p2p — peer-to-peer specific information. networking but make it social.
• btcoex — Bluetooth coexistence information. bluetooth and wifi being roommates, basically.
• scan_request — the cfg80211 scan request object.
• usr_sync — mainly for dongle up/down synchronization. syncing, but for the users.
• bss_info — bss information for the cfg80211 layer.
• conn_info — association info.
• pmk_list — the wpa2 pmk list.
• scan_status — scan activity on the dongle.
• pub — common driver information.
• channel — the current channel.
• int_escan_map — bucket map for which internal e-scan is done. a whole map, lowkey iconic.
• ibss_starter — indicates this sta is ibss starter. someone's gotta start it 💅
• pwr_save — indicate whether dongle to support power save mode.
• dongle_up — indicate whether dongle up or not.
• scan_tried — indicates if first scan attempted. the "did we even try" flag, relatable.
• dcmd_buf — dcmd buffer.
• extra_buf — mainly to grab assoc information.
• debugfsdir — debugfs folder for this device.
• escan_info — escan information.
• escan_timeout — Timer for catch scan timeout. ⏰
• escan_timeout_work — the scan timeout worker.
• vif_list — linked list of vif instances.
• vif_event — vif event signalling.
• wowl — wowl related information.
• pno — information of pno module.

ngl, that's the whole struct, every field accounted for. nothing dropped, nothing merged, nothing invented. we keep it accurate in this group chat. 🧚
