STRUCT IEEE80211_STA_HT_CAP(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

🎀 struct ieee80211_sta_ht_cap(9) 🎀

okay so bestie, we're in the Kernel API Manual and today's main character is struct ieee80211_sta_ht_cap — yes the whole struct, she's got a page of her own, we love that for her 💅

✨ NAME ✨

struct ieee80211_sta_ht_cap — literally the STA's HT capabilities, that's the whole vibe 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct ieee80211_sta_ht_cap {
    u16 cap;
    bool ht_supported;
    u8 ampdu_factor;
    u8 ampdu_density;
    struct ieee80211_mcs_info mcs;
 };

look at her. five fields. absolute icon behavior 👑

  • cap — the HT capabilities map, exactly as described in the 802.11n spec — no cap, that's literally what the spec says, iykyk 📜
  • ht_supported — a bool that answers the question of questions: is HT supported by the STA? yes or no, no maybes 🫡
  • ampdu_factor — the Maximum A-MPDU length factor. it's a factor. for the max length. of A-MPDUs. slay 🧚
  • ampdu_density — the Minimum A-MPDU spacing. note the minimum, bestie, spacing is a whole thing 💀
  • mcs — the Supported MCS rates, living in a struct ieee80211_mcs_info like the little nested legend she is ⭐

🌈 Description 🌈

so the tea is: this structure describes most essential parameters needed to describe the 802.11n HT capabilities for an STA. that's it, that's the job — she's the essential-parameters girly, she's not doing extra, she's doing essential 💖

like fr fr, if you need to describe an STA's 802.11n HT capabilities, this struct is the one holding the most essential of those parameters. no cap 🔥
