STRUCT BRCMF_PMKSA_V2(9)

💅 struct brcmf_pmksa_v2 — PMK Security Association 💅

Okay bestie, so this page is from the Kernel API Manual, and it's all about struct brcmf_pmksa_v2(9). It's giving "tiny little struct that holds your PMK Security Association" energy, and honestly? Iconic. Let's get into it. 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct brcmf_pmksa_v2 {
    __le16 length;
    u8 bssid[ETH_ALEN];
    u8 pmkid[WLAN_PMKID_LEN];
    u8 pmk[WLAN_PMK_LEN_SUITE_B_192];
    __le16 pmk_len;
    struct brcmf_ssid8_le ssid;
    u16 fils_cache_id;
 };

Like, that's the whole struct. No cap. Now let's meet the members one by one because they all ate. 💖

🌸 Members 🌸

• length — bestie, this is literally just the length of the structure. That's it. That's the whole gig. ✨
• bssid — the AP's BSSID. The access point's little name tag, basically. 🦋
• pmkid — the PMK ID. Yes queen, we love an identifier. 💅
• pmk — the PMK material used for FILS key derivation. It's the actual key-ish good stuff, lowkey the main character here. 🔥
• pmk_len — the length of the PMK data. We're keeping track, we're being responsible. 👑
• ssid — the AP's SSID. So the AP's actual network name, as opposed to its BSSID name tag up above. Don't mix them up, iykyk. 🌈
• fils_cache_id — the FILS cache identifier. It's giving "cache but make it FILS." ⭐

🦋 SEE ALSO 🦋

First off, the kernel file this whole thing lives in:

• ./drivers/net/wireless/broadcom/brcm80211/brcmfmac/fwil_types.h

And then we have, like, the entire friend group. Obsessed with how long this list is, fr fr:

• enum brcmf_gscan_cfg_flags(9)
• struct brcmf_gscan_config(9)
• struct brcmf_mkeep_alive_pkt_le(9)

Note the pattern, bestie — half of these end in _le because they're little-endian structs. It's not a typo, it's a lifestyle. 💀

And that's the whole page!! 🫶 Source and version vibes come from ./drivers/net/wireless/broadco... and the date on this one is October 2026, so yeah, it's a whole struct brcmf_pmksa_v2(9) situation, and you now know it inside and out. Slay, go forth, understand your PMK security associations. 💖✨🎀
