STRUCT IEEE80211_SCAN_IES(9)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so this is the Kernel API Manual page for struct ieee80211_scan_ies(9) — literally descriptors for different blocks of IEs. bestie, that's the whole name, no cap. 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

the shape of it, iykyk:

struct ieee80211_scan_ies {
    const u8 *ies[NUM_NL80211_BANDS];
    size_t len[NUM_NL80211_BANDS];
    const u8 *common_ies;
    size_t common_ie_len;
};

🎀 Members 🎀

• ies — pointers to band specific IEs. ✨
• len — lengths of band_specific IEs. 💅
• common_ies — IEs for all bands (especially vendor specific ones). 🦋
• common_ie_len — length of the common_ies. 🌸

🦋 Description 🦋

This structure is used to point to different blocks of IEs in HW scan and scheduled scan. These blocks contain the IEs passed by userspace and the ones generated by mac80211. that's the tea, and it's highkey iconic. 💖

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

okay the see-also section is giving whole-group-chat roll call, and we are not dropping a single name. here's every reference, bestie:

that's the whole page, bestie 💅 this cutie came from ./include/net, dated October 2026, and it's literally struct ieee80211_scan_ies(9) — kisses, stay scanning. 🌈✨
