STRUCT CFG80211_BSS_SELECTION(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

struct cfg80211_bss_selection(9) — Kernel API Manual 🧚✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

struct cfg80211_bss_selection — connection parameters for BSS selection. That's the whole vibe, bestie 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

okay so here's the full struct layout, no cap — every field exactly where it belongs:

struct cfg80211_bss_selection {
    enum nl80211_bss_select_attr behaviour;
    union {
      enum nl80211_band band_pref;
      struct cfg80211_bss_select_adjust adjust;
    } param;
 };

  • behaviour — requested BSS selection behaviour. 👑 This is the field saying which BSS selection behaviour you're asking for.
  • param — parameters for requestion behaviour. (Yes bestie, “requestion” — keeping the manpage's exact wording 😭💖) It's a union, and these are the things that can live inside it:
    • param.band_pref — preferred band for NL80211_BSS_SELECT_ATTR_BAND_PREF. 🌈
    • param.adjust — parameters for NL80211_BSS_SELECT_ATTR_RSSI_ADJUST. 🔥
