struct cfg80211_color_change_settings(9) — Kernel API Manual 🫶

okay so bestie, this is the Kernel API Manual entry for the struct that handles color change settings — yes, we're doing kernel struct lore today and it's lowkey iconic 💅

✨ NAME ✨

struct cfg80211_color_change_settings — color change settings 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

       struct cfg80211_color_change_settings {
           struct cfg80211_beacon_data beacon_color_change;
           u16 counter_offset_beacon;
           u16 counter_offset_presp;
           struct cfg80211_beacon_data beacon_next;
           struct cfg80211_unsol_bcast_probe_resp unsol_bcast_probe_resp;
           u8 count;
           u8 color;
           u8 link_id;
        };

👯 Members 👯

  • beacon_color_change — the beacon data while the color countdown is doing its thing ✨
  • counter_offset_beacon — the offsets of the counters inside the beacon (tail), no cap 🎀
  • counter_offset_presp — the offsets of the counters inside the probe response 💅
  • beacon_next — beacon data that gets used after the color change, main character energy 🔥
  • unsol_bcast_probe_resp — Unsolicited broadcast probe response parameters, periodt 💖
  • count — number of beacons until the color change 👑
  • color — the color used after the change 🌈
  • link_id — defines the link on which color change is expected during MLO. 0 in case of non-MLO. 🦋

💖 Description 💖

Used for bss color change. That's the whole vibe check, bestie 💜

🎀 wireless_dev, the little trio

🌸 utility functions (the math girlies)

🦋 data path helpers

💜 element hunting (finders keepers)

🌈 regulatory enforcement infrastructure

🧚 internal regulatory db functions

🫶 scan / BSS reporting & mlme callbacks

🎀 RFkill integration

⭐ vendor commands (iykyk)

🍓 test mode

💖 connect / roam / mgmt / cqm — the notify girlies

and that's literally the whole friend group 🫶 every single name-tag accounted for, no one left on read 💅

okay bestie, real talk: the SEE ALSO section of this page is not a snack, it's a whole meal 💀 like the kernel devs really said "here's every friend we know" and dumped the entire group chat. no cap, we're listing all of them, because missing one would be a crime and we don't do crimes here ✨

so grab ur lil iced coffee 🍓 and scroll, because every single one of these is getting its moment:

ngl, that's sixty-five whole references. the manpage said "see also" and meant "see everything". respect tho 💜

and that's a wrap on this whole page, bestie!! 🎀 this edition came out of ./include/net and it's dated October 2026, filed under struct cfg8...nge_settings(9) — yes the title is still chopped in the header and yes we're choosing to find that charming. go forth, read your kernels, and remember: colors change, but the documentation stays iconic 💅✨🦋
