STRUCT IEEE80211_AID_RESPONSE_IE(9)
π struct ieee80211_aid_response_ie β AID Response element π
okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for struct ieee80211_aid_response_ie, and no cap, it's a short one β but it's iconic in its own little way π
β¨ NAME β¨
struct ieee80211_aid_response_ie β literally the AID Response element. that's the whole vibe. π¦
πΈ SYNOPSIS πΈ
here's the struct, copied exactly, character for character, don't come for me:
struct ieee80211_aid_response_ie {
__le16 aid;
u8 switch_count;
__le16 response_int;
};
it's giving "small but mighty" ngl π
π Members π
aidβ the AID/Group AID. yes, both. it contains multitudes. πswitch_countβ the AID Switch Count. it's counting switches, bestie. that's the job. π₯response_intβ the AID Response Interval. an interval of responses, if you will. β¨
π Description π
so this structure represents the payload of the "AID Response element" β and where is that described, you ask? say it with me: as described in IEEE Std 802.11-2020 section 9.4.2.194. periodt. πβ¨
that's the whole description. no hidden lore, no secret extra behavior, just the spec citation and it ate. π«Ά
π§ SEE ALSO π§
the kernel file lives at ./include/linux/ieee80211-s1g.h β and here's the whole friend group, all of them, in order:

go read them. they're all slaying in their own lanes. ππΈ
lowkey reminder: everything above is exactly what the page says, i just made it cuter. no invented behavior, no extra tips, we stay factual in this group chat. ππ
and that's the page!! π sign-off time: this one comes from the kernel source tree at ./include/linux, dated October 2026, and it's filed under struct ieee8..._response_ie(9) β yes the truncation is the original's, we don't fix what we don't own π
