STRUCT CFG80211_WOWLAN_ND_MATCH(9)
β¨ struct cfg80211_wowlan_nd_match β Kernel API Manual β¨
okay so bestie, welcome to the struct cfg80211_wowlan_nd_match(9) page π
this is literally the kernel API manual entry and she is here to tell you all about the match info, so let's get into it π«Ά
πΈ NAME πΈ
struct cfg80211_wowlan_nd_match β information about the match π
Lowkey the whole personality of this struct is just: the match. The tea. The lore. The reason your Wi-Fi woke up from its little nap π
π¦ SYNOPSIS π¦
struct cfg80211_wowlan_nd_match {
struct cfg80211_ssid ssid;
int n_channels;
u32 channels[];
};
Look at her. Three members. Main character energy fr fr β¨
π Members π
ssidβ the SSID of the match that triggered the wake up π like, this is the network that made the whole thing happen. She's the reason. The moment. The event.n_channelsβ how many channels the match occurred on. And bestie, listen: this value may be zero if the driver can't report the channels π no cap, that's just how it is sometimes. The driver simply doesn't have the receipts.channelsβ the center frequencies of the channels where a match occurred, measured in MHz π so like, the actual locations of the slay, in numbers. Frequencies of the match. Iconic.
ngl this is part 1 of 3, so don't go anywhere β more is coming ππ

okay bestie, this part is literally the entire friend group π every single one of these is a real page in the kernel API manual β all section 9, so yes, every name below gets that (9) glued on, and yes, I'm listing every last one, no skipping, periodt π
