STRUCT BRCMF_GSCAN_CONFIG(9)

💅 struct brcmf_gscan_config(9) 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual entry for struct brcmf_gscan_config — yes it's a kernel struct, yes it's from the Broadcom fam, and yes we're gonna get through it together. it's giving "niche but iconic" and honestly? we love that for us.

---

✨ NAME ✨

struct brcmf_gscan_config — configuration data for gscan. that's it, that's the whole vibe: it's the config blob. no cap. 🫶

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct brcmf_gscan_config {
    __le16 version;
    u8 flags;
    u8 buffer_threshold;
    u8 swc_nbssid_threshold;
    u8 swc_rssi_window_size;
    u8 count_of_channel_buckets;
    u8 retry_threshold;
    __le16 lost_ap_window;
    struct brcmf_gscan_bucket_config bucket[];
};

look at her. a whole little struct. the bucket[] at the end is a flexible array member btw — she's flexible, she's mysterious, she contains channels. main character energy fr fr. ✨

🎀 Members 🎀

time for the member-by-member breakdown, aka the part where we meet each field like it's a group chat introduction. 💖

• version — the version of the api, and it has to match the firmware. think of it as the firmware's vibe check — if the versions don't line up, it's not gonna slay.
• flags — flags, governed by enum brcmf_gscan_cfg_flags. iykyk.
• buffer_threshold — the percentage threshold of the buffer that has to be hit before an event gets generated. lowkey a "how full before we freak out" situation.
• swc_nbssid_threshold — the number of BSSIDs with significant change that will generate an event. so like, a headcount of BSSIDs going through it before we notify anyone. 👑
• swc_rssi_window_size — the size of the rssi cache buffer (max=8). that's the whole limit, bestie — 8. do not exceed. 🙈
• count_of_channel_buckets — the number of array members in bucket. simple, clean, does what it says on the tin.
• retry_threshold — !unknown!. literally that's all we've got. no further lore. 😭
• lost_ap_window — also !unknown!. matching mystery energy, we stan a consistent duo. 💀
• bucket — array of channel buckets. it's the flex array, it's the payload, it's her. 🌈

ok and just so we're clear — that's the full list, every single one, no edits, no cuts. the manpage said it, we said it. periodt. 💅

and that's the page!! 🎀 source/version line says ./drivers/net/wireless/broadco... and the date is October 2026 — so like, future-dated manual page, very mysterious, very cunty, we love her. go forth and configure your gscan, bestie, you're gonna ate. 💖✨🦋
