STRUCT IEEE80211_PREP_TX_INFO(9)

💅 NAME

struct ieee80211_prep_tx_info — prepare TX information. Okay bestie, welcome to this page from the Kernel API Manual ✨ we’re about to prep that TX info together, no cap.

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

       struct ieee80211_prep_tx_info {
           u16 duration;
           u16 subtype;
           u8 success:1, was_assoc:1;
           int link_id;
        };

🌸 Members 🌸

• duration — if non-zero, hint about the required duration, only used with the mgd_prepare_tx method.
• subtype — frame subtype (auth, (re)assoc, deauth, disassoc).
• success — whether the frame exchange was successful, only used with the mgd_complete_tx method, and then only valid for auth and (re)assoc.
• was_assoc — set if this call is due to deauth/disassoc while just having been associated.
• link_id — the link id on which the frame will be TX'ed. 0 for a non-MLO connection.

mwah 💋 Tiny footer moment, bestie: source/version vibe is ./include/net, date is October 2026, and the page title is struct ieee...prep_tx_info(9). That’s the whole thing, periodt. 🫶
