STRUCT GSM_NETCONFIG(9)

💖 NAME 💖

struct gsm_netconfig — the network configuration parameters for n_gsm, bestie. That's the whole vibe. It's a struct. It holds your network setup. Slay.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

okay so here's literally the exact shape of it, no cap:

struct gsm_netconfig {
    unsigned int adaption;
    unsigned short protocol;
    unsigned short unused2;
    char if_name[IFNAMSIZ];
    __u8 unused[28];
 };

🎀 Members 🎀

• adaption — which adaption you wanna use in network mode. That's the one. Pick your adaption, live your truth 💅
• protocol — the protocol to use, and listen: only ETH_P_IP is supported. That's it, that's the whole list. Don't come at it with anything else 🙈
• unused2 — can not be used. Not "maybe", not "if you're brave". Can not. Leave it alone 🫶
• if_name — interface name format string. It's a char array sized IFNAMSIZ, so that's the budget for your naming fantasy ✨
• unused — can not be used. Twenty-eight (28) __u8s of pure hands-off energy. Do not touch, do not pass go 💀

🦋 Description 🦋

So this struct is the bestie that rides along with GSMIOC_ENABLE_NET and GSMIOC_DISABLE_NET — together they enable or disable a network data connection over a mux virtual tty channel 🔥

And who is this for? For modems that support data connections with raw IP frames instead of PPP. Raw IP frames, periodt. iykyk 🌸
