STRUCT CFG80211_ASSOC_LINK(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

okay so this is the Kernel API Manual page for struct cfg80211_assoc_link, and it's literally the per-link information situation for MLO association. bestie, it's giving "little struct, very important job" energy ✨

🎀 NAME 🎀

struct cfg80211_assoc_link — per-link information for MLO association 🦋

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct cfg80211_assoc_link {
    struct cfg80211_bss *bss;
    const u8 *elems;
    size_t elems_len;
    int error;
 };

💅 Members 💅

  • bss — the BSS pointer, see also struct cfg80211_assoc_request::bss. and listen: if this is NULL for a link, that link is not requested 🙈 no cap, that's the whole vibe check for whether the link is even in the conversation.
  • elems — extra elements for the per-STA profile for this link 🌸 like, the little extras that belong to this link's profile.
  • elems_len — length of the elements 📏 yes bestie, it's the length. of the elements. iconic.
  • error — per-link error code, and it must be <= 0. if there is an error, then the operation as a whole must fail 💀 not just this link being dramatic — the whole operation has to fail. periodt.

okay so before we get to the giant list — the whole thing lives in one file, and that file is:

./include/net/cfg80211.h

That's the kernel file the page points you at. Everything below is a friend of the family. ✨

like… that's the whole friend group 💅 every single one of them, no cap. go click through them whenever you need the lore. 🫶

...and okay, the friend group is huge, so here's the whole roll call, no gatekeeping, every single one of them, exactly as listed. Pull up a chair 🫶:

Like, that's so many besties 💀 — but every single one of them pulled up to the function, so you know they're all valid reads. Go click through them, iykyk ✨

and that's a wrap on the whole page, bestie!! 🎀 This one lives in ./include/net and it's dated October 2026 — go drink some water, you ate that 💅💖
