✨ struct ieee80211_sta_vht_cap(9) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the kernel API manual 💖 this one's about struct ieee80211_sta_vht_cap, and honestly? it's giving "small struct, big 802.11ac energy." let's get into it 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

struct ieee80211_sta_vht_cap — the STA's VHT capabilities, aka what your station can flex in the 802.11ac department 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

struct ieee80211_sta_vht_cap {
    bool vht_supported;
    u32 cap;
    struct ieee80211_vht_mcs_info vht_mcs;
 };

🦋 Members 🦋

  • vht_supported — a bool that answers the question "is VHT even supported by the STA?" 👑 like, is this station actually about that VHT life or not.
  • cap — the VHT capabilities map, u32 flavored, exactly as described in the 802.11ac spec 🔥 no cap, that's literally where the definition lives, so go check the spec if you need the bit-by-bit breakdown.
  • vht_mcs — the supported VHT MCS rates, wrapped up in a struct ieee80211_vht_mcs_info ⭐ your rates live here.

🌈 Description 🌈

so this structure is the main-character container for the most essential parameters you need to describe 802.11ac VHT capabilities for an STA 💜 literally the essentials, nothing extra, and it's lowkey iconic for it.

part 1 done — more coming, don't go anywhere bestie 🧚

💖 SEE ALSO 💖

this link list is giving full cinematic-universe energy, and we are not skipping a single one because that's not the vibe 💅 every entry below is exactly as it appears, (9) and all — no cap.

aaaand that's the whole SEE ALSO friend group, bestie, every single one of them, no skips no cap 💖 if you're ever like "wait what does that page say", literally just pull it up, that's the whole point of a SEE ALSO — iykyk.

lowkey reminder that these are just page references, ok? this page isn't telling you what those functions do, so don't come for me if you assume something 🙈 go read them, they'll explain themselves.

okay so that's the vibe check done, we made it to the end of the whole page 🎀 this one lives under ./include/net, it's dated October 2026, and the page itself is filed as struct ieee8..._sta_vht_cap(9) — not me being dramatic, that's genuinely how the header got truncated 💀 go forth and read your little heart out, you ate 💅💜
