STRUCT IEEE80211_MESHCONF_IE(9)

💖 struct ieee80211_meshconf_ie — Mesh Configuration element 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ this one's a lil struct page from ./include/linux and it's literally the glow-up era of the mesh config element. let's get into it 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

struct ieee80211_meshconf_ie — the Mesh Configuration element, no cap 💅

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

struct ieee80211_meshconf_ie {
    u8 meshconf_psel;
    u8 meshconf_pmetric;
    u8 meshconf_congest;
    u8 meshconf_synch;
    u8 meshconf_auth;
    u8 meshconf_form;
    u8 meshconf_cap;
 };

that's the whole squad right there, seven lil u8 besties in a trenchcoat 🧚

⭐ Members ⭐

• meshconf_psel — Active Path Selection Protocol Identifier. the main character of path selection 🫶
• meshconf_pmetric — Active Path Selection Metric Identifier. like, the metric it's measuring with ✨
• meshconf_congest — Congestion Control Mode Identifier. when the mesh is having a moment and needs to breathe 😮‍💨
• meshconf_synch — Synchronization Method Identifier. everybody in sync, fr fr 🎀
• meshconf_auth — Authentication Protocol Identifier. who gets to sit at the table 💅
• meshconf_form — Mesh Formation Info. the formation lore 🌸
• meshconf_cap — Mesh Capability (see enum mesh_config_capab_flags). the capabilities, iykyk 👑
