STRUCT CFG80211_FILS_AAD(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so this is the struct cfg80211_fils_aad(9) page from the Kernel API Manual, and it is literally all about FILS AAD data 💅✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

bestie, here's the whole struct vibe — copy it exactly, no cap:

struct cfg80211_fils_aad {
    const u8 *macaddr;
    const u8 *kek;
    u8 kek_len;
    const u8 *snonce;
    const u8 *anonce;
};

  • macaddr — the STA MAC address, iconic little identifier 👑
  • kek — the FILS KEK, yes ma'am 🔥
  • kek_len — the FILS KEK length, gotta know how long it is 💫

wiphy lifecycle & locking & work queues 🎀

utility functions (the handy besties) 🌈

data path helpers + element hunting 🎀

regulatory enforcement (the rules girlies) 👑

BSS informing + scan done + getting/putting bss 💫

MLME rx/tx & friends 🦋

RFkill integration 🎀

vendor commands (the custom era) 💅

test mode 🧪

connect / roam / channel-ready notifications 🌸

station bookkeeping 🍓

rx info + tx status + control port 🔥

CQM, radar, CAC, and the notify squad 💜

and that's the whole see-also guest list bestie, every single name accounted for ✨ but the page isn't done with us yet, so don't go anywhere 💅

okay bestie, final stretch — this is the bit of the cross-reference list where it just... keeps going. no thoughts, just kernel symbols. hydrate before reading 💅

the conversion girlies really said "both directions, no cap" 💫 and then:

register in, unregister out, that's the whole vibe honestly 🫶 moving on:

set it, check it, iconic behaviour ✨ and the NAN corner of the list is right here:

the "assoc_comeback" one is lowkey my fave, it's giving main character energy 💀 okay and then the colour-change era:

started, aborted, notify — the whole trilogy, periodt 🎀 last chunk, we made it:

read and write, start and end — symmetry slay 💖

and that's the whole cross-reference roster, bestie, you ate that entire list ngl 🍓 before you go — this page lives at ./include/net, it's dated October 2026, and its card at the top reads struct cfg80211_fils_aad(9). go take a break, you've earned it 👑🦋
