STRUCT CFG80211_DISASSOC_REQUEST(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💅 struct cfg80211_disassoc_request(9) 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — this page is all about the disassociation request data struct, and it’s lowkey iconic. no cap ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

struct cfg80211_disassoc_request — Disassociation request data

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct cfg80211_disassoc_request {
    const u8 *ap_addr;
    const u8 *ie;
    size_t ie_len;
    u16 reason_code;
    bool local_state_change;
};

💖 Members 💖

  • ap_addr — the BSSID or AP MLD address to disassociate from. literally the “who am I leaving” field 👋
  • ie — Extra IEs to add to Disassociation frame or NULL. optional extra info, no pressure 🎀
  • ie_len — Length of ie buffer in octets. yes, octets, not vibes 🫶
  • reason_code — The reason code for the disassociation. tell them why you’re leaving, bestie 💅
  • local_state_change — This is a request for a local state only, i.e., no Disassociation frame is to be transmitted. so it’s giving “I’m gone but I’m not announcing it” 🙈

🦋 Description 🦋

This structure provides information needed to complete IEEE 802.11 disassociation. that’s the whole vibe: it’s the info bundle for wrapping up an IEEE 802.11 disassociation, fr fr 💜

wiphy-level everything, this part is long but iconic 👑

…and the list keeps going, bestie, because this is the iconic part where we just point at every other function in the whole subsystem and go "her 💅". All of these are (9) pages, so the section number is doing the lord's work — I'm not typing it twice, but it's on every single one, no cap:

okay and that's the whole page, bestie, we ate and left zero crumbs 🍓✨

little sign-off moment: this was pulled from ./include/net and it's dated October 2026 — so if you're reading this in some other timeline, that's a whole vibe check of its own 💀🫶

ily, go read your kernel docs, mwah 💖
