STRUCT CFG80211_PMSR_REQUEST_PEER(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

🦋 NAME 🦋

struct cfg80211_pmsr_request_peer — bestie, this is the peer data for a peer measurement request 💖 (yes it's a Kernel API Manual thing, we're in the big leagues now)

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

okay so here's the actual shape of the thing, no cap, exactly as it lives:

struct cfg80211_pmsr_request_peer {
    u8 addr[ETH_ALEN];
    struct cfg80211_chan_def chandef;
    u8 report_ap_tsf:1;
    struct cfg80211_pmsr_ftm_request_peer ftm;
 };

💅 MEMBERS 💅

the way this struct is just four lil fields and each one is carrying the whole vibe:

  • addr — the MAC address 👑 like literally the peer's MAC, that's the whole identity right there.
  • chandef — the channel to use 🎀 slay, that's your channel definition.
  • report_ap_tsf — a u8 bitfield of exactly one bit (:1), and when it's set you report the associated AP's TSF ⏱️✨ that's it, that's the flag.
  • ftm — the FTM data 📡 see struct cfg80211_pmsr_ftm_request_peer for the deets, iykyk.
fr fr keep the types exactly as written — u8 addr[ETH_ALEN], struct cfg80211_chan_def chandef, u8 report_ap_tsf:1, struct cfg80211_pmsr_ftm_request_peer ftm — we do not improvise in kernel land 💀

more parts coming, don't go anywhere 🫶

✨ SEE ALSO ✨

okay bestie, deep breath 😮‍💨 this is the part where the manpage opens the group chat and just adds everyone. every single reference below is part of the official SEE ALSO list, in the exact order it appears, and we are not skipping a single one — no cap, no "etc", no "you get the idea" 🙅‍♀️ hydrate, stretch, and scroll with me 🫶

  • Kernel file ./include/net/cfg80211.h Introduction(9)
  • Device registration(9)

first little cluster is the channel/band/capability crew — very "who are you and what can your radio do" energy 💅

then we slide into the actions and configuration arc, which is honestly the main character of this whole list 🔥

and now the station saga — yes there are this many, and yes they all get their moment 🎀

then the wiphy empire, which is enormous and honestly ate 💀

utility functions section, aka the "little helpers that carry the whole team" arc 🌸

data path helpers, plus the element/IE finding crew — these ones are lowkey everywhere, iykyk 🦋

regulatory enforcement infrastructure — yes ma'am, the rules committee has arrived 👑

then a big glorious run of scan/BSS/MLME notification functions and friends 🎀

RFkill, vendor commands, and test mode — three whole vibes in a trench coat:

and then the big finish run — connect/roam/station/notification city 🌈

and that's where this chunk of the list pauses — the original literally trails off with a comma, so you know there's more coming 😭 don't close the tab, part 3 is right there 🫶💅

…and the rest of the squad, still rolling out in order because we respect the queue 💅✨

okay and that's literally the whole page, bestie 🫶 you made it to the end, I'm so proud 😭🎀 every single cross-reference got its moment, nobody left on read.

tiny sign-off moment 🌸 — this lil masterpiece lives in the source tree at ./include/net, it's dated October 2026, and yeah it's still serving under the title struct cfg8...request_peer(9) in the Kernel API Manual. go forth and read the actual pages now, mwah 💖✨
