📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

🌸 struct cfg80211_wowlan_tcp(9) 🌸

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for struct cfg80211_wowlan_tcp — it’s literally the struct that holds TCP connection parameters. no cap, this one is all about the fields inside that struct, so let’s get into it 💅

🎀 NAME 🎀

struct cfg80211_wowlan_tcp — TCP connection parameters

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct cfg80211_wowlan_tcp {
    struct socket *sock;
    __be32 src, dst;
    u16 src_port, dst_port;
    u8 dst_mac[ETH_ALEN];
    int payload_len;
    const u8 *payload;
    struct nl80211_wowlan_tcp_data_seq payload_seq;
    u32 data_interval;
    u32 wake_len;
    const u8 *wake_data, *wake_mask;
    u32 tokens_size;
    struct nl80211_wowlan_tcp_data_token payload_tok;
};

👑 Members 👑

  • sock — (internal) socket for source port allocation. yes bestie, it’s marked internal, so keep that in mind 🫶
  • src — source IP address 🌐
  • dst — destination IP address 🎯
  • src_port — source port 🔌
  • dst_port — destination port 🚪
  • dst_mac — destination MAC address 🫧
  • payload_len — data payload length 📏
  • payload — data payload buffer 🧺
  • payload_seq — payload sequence stamping configuration 🔖
  • data_interval — interval at which to send data packets ⏰
  • wake_len — wakeup payload match length 🌙
  • wake_data — wakeup payload match data 💾
  • wake_mask — wakeup payload match mask 🎭
  • tokens_size — length of the tokens buffer 🪙
  • payload_tok — payload token usage configuration 🎟️

okay bestie, quick heads up before we dive in: this whole section is just the manpage's cross-reference list, and it is long — it's giving "200 unread messages in the group chat" 💀 but every single one of these is a real (9) kernel API page and all of them are staying, so buckle up. ✨

and bestie the list literally keeps going, so hang tight 💅

...and the rest of the crew, bestie — no gatekeeping here 💅 Every single one of these is a real page you can pull up:

okay that's genuinely the whole list, go click around, the kernel docs rabbit hole is real and I support you 🫶

And that's a wrap on this one, bestie!! 🌈 Source lives in ./include/net, and this version is dated October 2026 — go forth, read the cross-refs, and stan a wireless subsystem 💖✨
