STRUCT CFG80211_SCHED_SCAN_PLAN(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

✨ struct cfg80211_sched_scan_plan — scan plan for scheduled scan ✨

okay bestie, so this page is from the Kernel API Manual, section 9, and it's literally the glow-up guide for struct cfg80211_sched_scan_plan 🦋 like… it's the little struct that tells your scheduled scan how it's gonna behave. no cap, it's small but it's main character energy 👑

🎀 NAME 🎀

struct cfg80211_sched_scan_plan — the scan plan for scheduled scan 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

like, here's the whole vibe, character for character:

struct cfg80211_sched_scan_plan {
    u32 interval;
    u32 iterations;
 };

⭐ Members ⭐

  • interval — the interval between scheduled scan iterations. it's in seconds ⏱️ that's it, that's the whole field, and honestly? iconic.
  • iterations — the number of scan iterations in this scan plan 🔁 and okay, listen closely bestie, because this one has lore: zero means infinite loop ♾️ and here's the part you cannot miss — the last scan plan will always have this parameter set to zero, and all the other scan plans will have a finite number of iterations. so zero isn't just "chill, whatever" — it's specifically the forever-one at the end 🫶
ngl, that's the whole struct already 💀 tiny, precious, does exactly one job, and does it slay. more parts are coming so don't go anywhere 💖

✨ SEE ALSO ✨

💅 the wiphy radios & the wiphy itself

🎀 wiphy work queue besties (all of them, fr fr)

💜 wireless_dev things

🦋 Utility functions (the little helpers that ATE)

🌸 Data path helpers & element hunting

🌈 Regulatory enforcement infrastructure

🔥 scan done / sched scan notifications & BSS plumbing

ok this cluster is genuinely our struct's direct neighbours, so pay attention bestie:

💀 mlme mgmt & assoc plumbing

🧚 RFkill integration

👑 Vendor commands

⭐ Test mode

🍓 connect / roam / disconnect notifications

🫶 channel stays, tid stats & station events

💅 rx / tx mgmt & control port

🌈 cqm, radar, cac & the final boss of notifications

and that's the entire cross-reference guest list, every single one, nothing cut, nothing merged, we ate that 💖 — like, the way this page links to literally the whole kernel wifi ecosystem is lowkey unreal, and yes there's still more coming, don't touch that dial 🦋

okay bestie, final stretch — this is the rest of the SEE ALSO list and it is long, so grab a snack 🍓 every single one of these is a real page you can go read, and I mean every single one. No skips. No cap. 💅

and we made it 🫶 notice how a few of those are struct pages too — struct cfg80211_ft_event_params(9), struct cfg80211_nan_match_params(9) and struct cfg80211_mlo_reconf_done_data(9) — iconic, honestly. the NAN girlies really showed up in force here, and I respect it.

ngl bestie, if you actually read this whole page top to bottom you're legally a wireless networking main character now 👑

and that's the whole page, babe 💖 this one lives down in ./include/net (that's source, for the uninitiated) and it was dated October 2026. go take a walk, hydrate, and maybe like… don't schedule a scan plan without reading the other two parts first. mwah 🌸✨
