STRUCT IEEE80211_EHT_MCS_NSS_SUPP(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

💖 struct ieee80211_eht_mcs_nss_supp(9) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to struct ieee80211_eht_mcs_nss_supp(9) from the Kernel API Manual — this is the struct for EHT max supported NSS per MCS, and she is literally a tiny nested-union situation with main-character energy ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

struct ieee80211_eht_mcs_nss_supp — EHT max supported NSS per MCS.

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

       struct ieee80211_eht_mcs_nss_supp {
           union {
             struct ieee80211_eht_mcs_nss_supp_20mhz_only only_20mhz;
             struct {
               struct ieee80211_eht_mcs_nss_supp_bw _80;
               struct ieee80211_eht_mcs_nss_supp_bw _160;
               struct ieee80211_eht_mcs_nss_supp_bw _320;
             } bw;
           };
        };

🎀 Members 🎀

  • {unnamed_union} — anonymous. literally no name, just anonymous 💅
  • only_20mhz — MCS/NSS support for 20 MHz-only STA.
  • bw — MCS/NSS support for 80, 160 and 320 MHz
  • bw._80 — MCS/NSS support for BW <= 80 MHz
  • bw._160 — MCS/NSS support for BW = 160 MHz
  • bw._320 — MCS/NSS support for BW = 320 MHz

🌈 Description 🌈

See P802.11be_D1.3 Table 9-401k - "Subfields of the Supported EHT-MCS and NSS Set field".

and that's literally where this part cuts off 😭 the list just keeps going — like the wifi lore never ends. do not close the tab bestie, there's more coming 🫶✨

...and the cross-ref list literally does not stop, bestie 😭 — the page just keeps handing you more (9) pages to go read. Here's every single one of them, in order, no skips, no "etc.":

fr fr that's the whole see-also situation — like 60-something pages of "go read this next" 💀. Your browser history is about to be all wireless. Godspeed, bestie 🫶

🌸 okay that's a wrap on the whole page!! this one lives in ./include/net (yes, the kernel headers girlies) and it's dated October 2026, so like... it's giving future. iconic. go read some cfg80211 pages and slay ✨👑💜
