STRUCT CFG80211_BEACONING_CHECK_CONFIG(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💖 NAME 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the struct cfg80211_beaconing_check_config(9) page from the Kernel API Manual — this is the entry for struct cfg80211_beaconing_check_config, aka the beacon check configuration ✨. That's the whole name, no cap 💅.

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

Here's the struct, literally copy-paste exact:

       struct cfg80211_beaconing_check_config {
           enum nl80211_iftype iftype;
           enum ieee80211_ap_reg_power reg_power;
           bool relax;
        };

🌸 Members 🌸

  • iftype — the interface type to check for 🦋
  • reg_power — an enum ieee80211_ap_reg_power value indicating the advertised/used 6 GHz regulatory power setting 🔥
  • relax — allow IR-relaxation conditions to apply, e.g. another interface connected already on the same channel 🫶

💀 NOTE 💀

🚨 If this is set, wiphy mutex must be held. Like, fr fr — do not skip that part 😭👑

💖 SEE ALSO 💖

okay bestie, this is the part where the page just opens the group chat and @s everyone 😭 every single name down there is a real manual page you can summon with man 9 <thing>, and there are like a million of them. no cap. grab a snack and a lil drink, we're going through all of them, because i refuse to leave a single one out. periodt. 💅

ok the hardware intro vibes are out of the way, now we enter struct city 🏙️✨

and now we're sliding into the "actually configuring stuff" era 🎀

scanning era!! this is where the wifi goes out and looks for friends 🦋

NAN time, aka the wifi that finds its own little friend group 💫

utility corner, our little toolbox besties 🧰🫶

data path helpers, where the actual packets do their lil commute 🚗💨

regulatory era, aka the vibes police telling your radio what it's allowed to do 🚓✨

rfkill section, the "turn it off and on again" besties 💀

vendor + test mode, the "your manufacturer did something custom" zone 🙈

and the final stretch, connect/disconnect notif besties + all the little event pings 📡💖

and that's where this part cuts off bestie — the list literally keeps going, so like… hydrate before the next chunk 🌸

okay so this is the part where the manpage just… name-drops literally everyone it knows 😭 it's giving "and here's my entire friend list" energy. Every single one of these is a real (9) page you can go read next, and yes, you're gonna want to — they're all part of the same wireless-nerd universe 🌸

and that's a wrap on the whole page, bestie 🎀 you read all of it, that's genuinely iconic. For the record-keepers: this one came from the source tree at ./include/net, in the October 2026 docs drop, and the page itself is struct cfg80...check_config(9) — yes the title is truncated like that in the header, no that's not a typo I made, that's just how it is 💀 go forth and check your beaconing configs responsibly 🫶✨
