STRUCT IEEE80211_BSSID_INDEX(9)

💅 NAME 💅

ok so welcome to the Kernel API Manual, bestie 🫶 — this page is all about struct ieee80211_bssid_index, aka the multiple BSSID index element structure. yes that's a mouthful, no we're not shortening it, it's iconic ✨

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

like, here's the whole vibe, literally the entire struct:

struct ieee80211_bssid_index {
    u8 bssid_index;
    u8 dtim_period;
    u8 dtim_count;
 };

three lil u8 fields and she's done. main character energy tbh 👑

---

🫶 Members 🫶

okay let's meet the cast 🎀

• bssid_index — the BSSID index. that's it, that's the whole gig 💅
• dtim_period — optional, and what it does is override the transmitted BSS dtim period. lowkey powerful ngl
• dtim_count — also optional, and it overrides the transmitted BSS dtim count. twin behavior fr fr 🌸

---

🌈 Description 🌈

so what is this thing? it refers to the "Multiple BSSID-index element". periodt, that's the description 💖

like… that's the whole friend group 😭💀 go say hi to all of them i guess

and that's the page!! 🎀 bye bestie, this one came from ./include/linux, dated October 2026, and yeah — the footer says struct ieee8..._bssid_index(9) too, because even the footer wanted to match. slay 🦋💜
