💖 struct brcmf_p2p_pub_act_frame(9) — the WiFi P2P Public Action Frame page, bestie edition

okay so this is the struct brcmf_p2p_pub_act_frame(9) manual page from the Kernel API Manual, and honestly? it's giving "tiny struct, big main character energy" ✨ it's a WiFi P2P Public Action Frame and we're gonna go through it field by field, no skips, no cap 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

struct brcmf_p2p_pub_act_frame — WiFi P2P Public Action Frame 🌸

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

look at her. she's small. she's iconic. she's literally:

struct brcmf_p2p_pub_act_frame {
    u8 category;
    u8 action;
    u8 oui[3];
    u8 oui_type;
    u8 subtype;
    u8 dialog_token;
    u8 elts[];
 };

that elts[] with the empty brackets? variable length, she grows, we love a flexible queen 💅

🎀 Members 🎀

  • category — this one's WLAN_CATEGORY_PUBLIC, periodt. that's the whole vibe check for this field 🐝
  • action — set to WLAN_PUB_ACTION_VENDOR_SPECIFIC, so like, it's the vendor-specific action, iykyk 💜
  • oui — P2P_OUI, the OUI bytes, three of them, cute little array of 3 🍓
  • oui_type — the OUI type, which is WLAN_OUI_TYPE_WFA_P2P 🎀
  • subtype — the OUI subtype, and it's one of the P2P_TYPE_* fam 🌈
  • dialog_token — nonzero, and it identifies the req/rsp transaction. so like, not zero. ever. it's zero's whole thing to NOT be here 🙈
  • elts — Variable length information elements. that's it, that's the field, she's variable length and she's thriving 💫

and then, in order, the whole squad:

like I said. the whole squad. ate and left no crumbs 🔥

ngl if you're implementing against this, those (9) suffixes mean "these are manpage sections in the kernel API manual", so go read them, bestie, they're right there 💀

🌸 and that's the page!! this one came from ./drivers/net/wireless/broadcom/brcm80211/brcmfmac/p2p.c (shown truncated in the original footer as ./drivers/net/wireless/broadco...), dated October 2026, and it's struct brcmf_p2p_pub_act_frame(9) — go forth and slay your P2P action frames, ily 🫶💜✨
