πŸŽ€ struct il_ssid_ie(9) πŸŽ€

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for struct il_ssid_ie β€” it’s giving β€œdirected scan network information element” and honestly it’s kinda iconic for such a tiny struct πŸ’…βœ¨


✨ NAME ✨

struct il_ssid_ie β€” directed scan network information element πŸ¦‹


🫢 SYNOPSIS 🫢

struct il_ssid_ie {
    u8 id;
    u8 len;
    u8 ssid[32];
 };

🌸 Members 🌸

soooo this section doesn’t have its own separate member-by-member breakdown on the original page β€” the fields are literally right there in the synopsis above, bestie πŸ’€βœ¨


πŸ’– DESCRIPTION πŸ’–

okay so here’s the tea β˜•: up to 20 of these may appear in C_SCAN β€” and yes, note the little parenthetical: only 4 are in 3945 SCAN api πŸ™ˆ. They’re selected by the "type" bit field in struct il_scan_channel, and each channel may select different ssids from among those 20 (4) entries. SSID IEs get transmitted in reverse order of entry β€” yes, backwards, that’s the rule, no cap πŸ”₯
