STRUCT IEEE80211_WIDE_BW_CHANSW_IE(9)

👑 struct ieee80211_wide_bw_chansw_ie(9) 👑

Okay so bestie, this page is from the Kernel API Manual, and it's literally the struct ieee80211_wide_bw_chansw_ie(9) page. We're about to get into the wide bandwidth channel switch IE, and honestly? It's giving very specific networking struct energy. 💅

📛 NAME 📛

struct ieee80211_wide_bw_chansw_ie — wide bandwidth channel switch IE

No cap, that's the whole name, and yes it's a mouthful. Slay.

---

🌈 SYNOPSIS 🌈

struct ieee80211_wide_bw_chansw_ie {
    u8 new_channel_width;
    u8 new_center_freq_seg0, new_center_freq_seg1;
 };

---

💅 Members 💅

• new_channel_width — the new channel width. That's the vibe.
• new_center_freq_seg0 — the new channel center frequency segment 0, bestie. Iconic.
• new_center_freq_seg1 — the new channel center frequency segment 1. Yes, seg1 is its own field, and we respect it.

---

🦋 Description 🦋

This struct represents the payload of the “Wide Bandwidth Channel Switch element”, exactly as described in IEEE Std 802.11-2020 section 9.4.2.160. That's the whole description, and it ate. ✨
