STRUCT IEEE80211_HE_OPERATION(9)

🌸 NAME 🌸

struct ieee80211_he_operation — the HE Operation element, bestie 💅

This page lives in the Kernel API Manual, and it's all about one iconic little struct. No cap.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct ieee80211_he_operation {
    __le32 he_oper_params;
    __le16 he_mcs_nss_set;
    u8 optional[];
 };

Like, look at her. Three fields and a dream. 🫶

---

🎀 MEMBERS 🎀

• he_oper_params — HE Operation Parameters plus BSS Color Information, both living in one __le32 like the main character energy they are 👑
• he_mcs_nss_set — the Basic HE-MCS And NSS Set, lowkey the whole point of the vibe check 🔥
• optional[] — the flexible array of optional fields, and she's giving range: VHT Operation Information, Max Co-Hosted BSSID Indicator, and 6 GHz Operation Information. Not me being obsessed with a trailing array 😭

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so, fr fr: this structure represents the payload of the "HE Operation element", exactly as described in IEEE Std 802.11ax-2021 section 9.4.2.249.

That's it. That's the whole description. She's a payload wrapper and she knows it. Periodt. 💖
