STRUCT IEEE80211_MULTIPLE_BSSID_CONFIGURATION(9)

🌸 struct ieee80211_multiple_bssid_configuration(9) 🌸

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — this one's a tiny little struct from the kernel's ieee80211 corner and it's lowkey iconic for how much it does with two whole bytes. let's get into it 💅

---

✨ NAME ✨

struct ieee80211_multiple_bssid_configuration — literally the multiple BSSID configuration element structure. that's the whole name, she's not subtle 💖

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

here's the shape of her, exactly as written, no notes:

struct ieee80211_multiple_bssid_configuration {
    u8 bssid_count;
    u8 profile_periodicity;
 };

---

🦋 Members 🦋

• bssid_count — the total number of active BSSIDs in the set. that's it, that's the count, she's counting the active besties 🫶
• profile_periodicity — the least number of beacon frames that need to be received in order to discover all the nontransmitted BSSIDs in the set. so like, how many beacons you gotta sit through before the whole squad is revealed ✨

---

🌈 Description 🌈

this structure refers to the "Multiple BSSID Configuration element". periodt — that's the description, it's giving minimalism and honestly? respect 💅

and that's the page bestie 🧚 this lil cutie came from ./include/linux in the October 2026 era of the Kernel API Manual, filed under struct ieee...onfiguration(9) (yes the header truncates it like that, she's mysterious 🙈). go read some beacons, ily, bye 💜
