STRUCT IEEE80211_BSS_MAX_IDLE_PERIOD_IE(9)

💖 NAME 💖

okay so, bestie, struct ieee80211_bss_max_idle_period_ie(9) — from the Kernel API Manual — is the BSS max idle period element struct. It’s a whole little vibe, and yes, it’s a struct. 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

struct ieee80211_bss_max_idle_period_ie {
    __le16 max_idle_period;
    u8 idle_options;
};

• max_idle_period — this one tells you the time period during which a station can refrain from transmitting frames to its associated AP without being disassociated. It’s in units of 1000 TUs. So yes, that number is doing math, bestie. 💅
• idle_options — this one tells you the options associated with the BSS idle capability, exactly as specified in enum ieee80211_idle_options. ✨

🌸 Description 🌸

This structure refers to “BSS Max idle period element”. That’s the whole description, and honestly? Iconic. 🎀
