STRUCT CFG80211_TID_CFG(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay bestie, welcome to struct cfg80211_tid_cfg from the cfg80211_tid_cfg(9) Kernel API Manual — its whole thing is TID specific configuration. 💅✨

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's the struct in all its glory, copied exactly, no cap:

       struct cfg80211_tid_cfg {
           bool config_override;
           u8 tids;
           u64 mask;
           enum nl80211_tid_config noack;
           u8 retry_long, retry_short;
           enum nl80211_tid_config ampdu;
           enum nl80211_tid_config rtscts;
           enum nl80211_tid_config amsdu;
           enum nl80211_tx_rate_setting txrate_type;
           struct cfg80211_bitrate_mask txrate_mask;
        };

🎀 Members 🎀

okay so each field is doing its own little main character thing:

  • config_override — Flag to notify driver to reset TID configuration of the peer. 🫶
  • tids — bitmap of TIDs to modify. 🦋
  • mask — bitmap of attributes indicating which parameter changed, similar to nl80211_tid_config_supp. 💜
  • noack — noack configuration value for the TID. ⭐
  • retry_long — retry count value. 🔥
  • retry_short — retry count value. 🔥
  • ampdu — Enable/Disable MPDU aggregation. 🌈
  • rtscts — Enable/Disable RTS/CTS. 🌈
  • amsdu — Enable/Disable MSDU aggregation. 🌈
  • txrate_type — Tx bitrate mask type. 💙
  • txrate_mask — Tx bitrate to be applied for the TID. 👑
