STRUCT BRCMF_CFG80211_VIF(9)

💅 struct brcmf_cfg80211_vif(9) — the kernel API manual, but make it make sense

okay so bestie, welcome to the glow-up edition of the struct brcmf_cfg80211_vif(9) page from the Kernel API Manual. she's a struct, she's a whole vibe, and she's about to be your new hyperfixation. let's get into it 🎀

---

✨ NAME ✨

struct brcmf_cfg80211_vif — literally just virtual interface specific information. that's her whole job. that's the assignment and she ate 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

here's the shape of her, no cap — copy it exactly, don't you dare "fix" the field names:

struct brcmf_cfg80211_vif {
    struct brcmf_if *ifp;
    struct wireless_dev wdev;
    struct brcmf_cfg80211_profile profile;
    unsigned long sme_state;
    struct vif_saved_ie saved_ie;
    struct list_head list;
    struct completion mgmt_tx;
    unsigned long mgmt_tx_status;
    u32 mgmt_tx_id;
    u16 mgmt_rx_reg;
    bool mbss;
    int is_11d;
    s32 cqm_rssi_low;
    s32 cqm_rssi_high;
    s32 cqm_rssi_last;
 };

🌸 Members 🌸

• ifp — the lower layer interface pointer, aka her link back down the stack. think of it as her situationship with the layer below 🫶
• wdev — wireless device. iconic, essential, the main character of the struct honestly.
• profile — profile information. yes she has a profile, yes it's curated.
• sme_state — SME state, and it's using enum brcmf_vif_status bits. bit flags, bestie. bit flags 💀
• saved_ie — saved IE info for a vif. we stan a struct that remembers things.
• list — linked list. she's in her connected era 🔗
• mgmt_tx — completion for management frame transmit. wait for it… wait for it… 🧚
• mgmt_tx_status — status of the last management frame sent to firmware. the receipts. she keeps the receipts.
• mgmt_tx_id — (no extra description in the original, so i'm not gonna invent one. she's mysterious. she's lowkey the most intriguing field here 🙈)
• mgmt_rx_reg — registered rx mgmt frame types. the guest list, basically.
• mbss — Multiple BSS type, set if it's not the first AP (and heads up: not relevant for P2P). read that caveat again, bestie, i'm serious.
• is_11d — beacon contains country IE, enables regulatory 802.11d support. internationally known, globally relevant 🌈
• cqm_rssi_low — lower RSSI limit for CQM monitoring.
• cqm_rssi_high — upper RSSI limit for CQM monitoring.
• cqm_rssi_last — last RSSI reading for CQM monitoring. so low, so high, and then the last reading — a whole little trio, obsessed ✨

okay that's the whole page, nothing skipped, every field accounted for, no cap 👑

later babe — this was ./drivers/net/wireless/broadco... version, dated October 2026, and yes she's still the same struct brcmf_cfg80211_vif(9) queen she's always been. slay, drink water, and don't forget to actually read the source 🌸💜
