STRUCT CFG80211_NAN_PEER_MAP(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

🌸 struct cfg80211_nan_peer_map(9) 🌸

okay bestie, so this is from the Kernel API Manual and it's literally the whole vibe of a NAN peer schedule map. yes, the title up there is the header line, i folded it in for you, you're welcome 💖

✨ NAME ✨

struct cfg80211_nan_peer_map — NAN peer schedule map 🗺️

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct cfg80211_nan_peer_map {
    u8 map_id;
    u8 schedule[CFG80211_NAN_SCHED_NUM_TIME_SLOTS];
};

look at her. two members. iconic. no notes 💅

🎀 Members 🎀

  • map_id — the map ID of this schedule map. that's it, that's her whole job, and she's doing it beautifully 🫶
  • schedule — bestie this is the main character right here 🔥 it's a mapping of time slots to chandef indexes in the schedule's nan_channels. each slot lasts 16TUs, no cap. and if a slot isn't scheduled? it gets set to NL80211_NAN_SCHED_NOT_AVAIL_SLOT. so if you see that value you know that slot is literally not available, don't come for her 💀

✨ Description ✨

so like, this struct defines a single NAN peer schedule map. one. single. map. and it's giving exactly what it needs to give ✨

💖 SEE ALSO 💖

okay bestie this next bit is literally the entire friend group of this struct — every single page that's adjacent to it in the kernel docs 🫶. It's a long list, ngl, so grab a snack 🍓. Nothing here is new info about struct cfg80211_nan_peer_map itself, it's just "go read these too." Every single one is listed below, promise, no skips 💅

💜 the wiphy lifecycle crew

queue / cancel / flush / pending — four flavours of work, all listed, all yours 🎀

the wdev trio, and wdev_chandef(9) if you want the channel def 👀

channel↔frequency conversions in both directions, plus PSC checks — super handy, lowkey underrated 🌸

🔥 Data path helpers

the "is this frame shaped right / turn it into 8023" squad 🫶

find, find_ext, find_vendor — three tiers of "where's that IE" energy 🔍

💅 Regulatory enforcement infrastructure

regulatory will end you if you get it wrong, so read these fr 😭

note the double underscore on __cfg80211_get_bss(9) — that's the internal flavour, not the same page as the public one 👑

🍓 RFkill integration

start polling, stop polling — the on/off of it all 🎀

🌸 Vendor commands

🧚 Test mode

test mode is deprecated-ish territory vibe-wise, but it's listed so here it is 💀

✨ odds and ends I refuse to skip

🧚 register / unregister energy

🎀 fast transition corner

🎀 the NEW NAN pages (yes more of them)

🧚 debugfs, but locked 🔒

🍓 S1G trio

💜 last but never least

and that's the whole list, bestie — 64 references, zero skipped, we ate 🍽️✨

lowkey a reminder that this page lives in ./include/net, it's dated October 2026, and its full title is struct cfg80...nan_peer_map(9) — so if you're citing it in a paper or a group chat, that's the receipt right there 🧾💅

okay mwah, go read the actual functions now, you're literally so capable 💖🫶🦋
