🎀 Members 🎀

okay so let's go through every single field one by one, no skipping, we're not doing that today 💖

• bss — the BSS you're associating with, bestie. if the call works out, the driver gets a reference it must hand back to cfg80211_send_rx_assoc or to cfg80211_assoc_timeout. and to keep the refcounting honest, new association requests that show up while you're already associating must be rejected — no cap, that's the rule. this also applies to the links.bss parameter, which gets used instead of this one (it's NULL in that case) for MLO associations ✨
• ie — extra IEs to shove into the (Re)Association Request frame, or NULL if you've got nothing to add 🦋
• prev_bssid — previous BSSID. if it's not NULL, use a reassociate frame. this is how you say "hey, I want to reassociate within the ESS" instead of "hi, first time here, doing the initial association with the ESS." when it's included, it's set to the BSSID of the current association — like, literally the value that goes in the Current AP address field of the Reassociation Request frame 🌸
• ie_len — length of the ie buffer, counted in octets 🎀
• crypto — crypto settings 💜
• use_mfp — use management frame protection (IEEE 802.11w) in this association 🔥
• flags — see enum cfg80211_assoc_req_flags 👑
• supported_selectors — supported BSS selectors in IEEE 802.11 format (or NULL for no change). and heads up: if it's NULL, then support for SAE_H2E should be assumed 👀
• supported_selectors_len — number of supported BSS selectors ⭐
• ht_capa — HT Capabilities over-rides. values you set in ht_capa_mask will be used in ht_capa. un-supported values get ignored, sorry babe 🙈
• ht_capa_mask — the bits of ht_capa that are actually going to be used 💅
• vht_capa — VHT capability override 🌈
• vht_capa_mask — VHT capability mask, telling you which fields to use 🦋
• fils_kek — FILS KEK for protecting the (Re)Association Request/Response frame, or NULL if FILS isn't being used 🍓
• fils_kek_len — length of fils_kek in octets 🌸
• fils_nonces — FILS nonces (part of AAD) for protecting the (Re)Association Request/Response frame, or NULL if FILS isn't being used. this field starts with 16 octets of STA Nonce followed by 16 octets of AP Nonce — literally in that order, don't mix them up 😭
• s1g_capa — S1G capability override 🧚
• s1g_capa_mask — S1G capability override mask ✨
• links — per-link information for MLO connections 🔗
• ap_mld_addr — AP MLD address, for MLO association requests. valid iff link_id >= 0 👑
• link_id — >= 0 for MLO connections, where links are given, and it says which link the association request should be sent on 🎀
• ext_mld_capa_ops — extended MLD capabilities and operations, set by userspace for the association 💖

that's the whole list bestie, all sixty-four of them 🫶 every single name exactly as written, so you can go read any of them and they'll actually exist. like, that's the whole point of a SEE ALSO — it's the group chat invite list, and you don't leave anyone on read 💅

if you're still here after all of that, ily, and may your (9) lookups always resolve on the first try ✨

and that's a wrap on the whole page 🎀 this cutie lives over in ./include/net and it's dated October 2026 — so like, bookmark it, screenshot it, tattoo it on your forearm, whatever feels right. bye bestie, go associate some requests 🦋💖
