STRUCT CFG80211_PMK_CONF(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💖 struct cfg80211_pmk_conf(9) — Kernel API Manual 💖

okay bestie, buckle up, because this is the section 9 (kernel API) page for struct cfg80211_pmk_conf, and it's literally the PMK configuration moment. no cap. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

struct cfg80211_pmk_conf — PMK configuration

like, that's it, that's the whole vibe check. it configures your PMK. slay. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

this is the whole struct, in all its glory, copied exactly because we do NOT play with code:

struct cfg80211_pmk_conf {
    const u8 *aa;
    u8 pmk_len;
    const u8 *pmk;
    const u8 *pmk_r0_name;
 };

four fields. four. that's the whole main character. 💜

🦋 Members 🦋

okay so THIS is the part you actually need, bestie — every single field, no skips:

  • aa — the authenticator address. that's it, that's the address of the thing doing the authenticating. iconic. 🔥
  • pmk_len — the PMK length, in bytes. a u8, so it's a smol number, and it's telling you how big the PMK is. ⭐
  • pmk — the PMK material itself. the actual goods. the whole point. 🫶
  • pmk_r0_name — the PMK-R0 Name. sets to NULL when it's not applicable (i.e., the PMK is not PMK-R0, so don't come for it). and listen — when pmk_r0_name is not NULL, the pmk field holds PMK-R0. so those two are locked in together, iykyk. 🔒✨
fr fr, that pmk_r0_name/pmk relationship is the one detail everybody forgets, so like… don't be that person. 💀

more coming, bestie — don't go anywhere 🧚

🔗 SEE ALSO 🔗

okay so first thing: Kernel file ./include/net/cfg80211.h — that's the actual file bestie, everything below lives in there. And the guest list for this page is long, like "who invited all these people" long 💀 but we're getting through it together, no skipping, no cap.

ok now the actions girlies, this is where stuff actually happens:

like… sixty-four cross-refs, that's not a SEE ALSO that's a whole group chat 😭 and every single one of them is a real page you can go read, so go read them, i'm literally begging 🫶

and that's a wrap on this one, bestie!! 🎀 this lil page lives in the source tree at ./include/net, it's the October 2026 edition, and it's filed under struct cfg80211_pmk_conf(9) — go forth and configure your PMK like the main character you are 💖✨👑
