STRUCT IL_VIF_PRIV(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

✨ struct il_vif_priv(9) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual πŸ’… β€” this lil page is all about struct il_vif_priv, no cap.


πŸŽ€ NAME πŸŽ€

struct il_vif_priv β€” the driver's "ilate" per-interface information πŸ’– (yes that's literally how it's spelled in here, we don't ask questions, we just read the header file 🫢)


πŸ¦‹ SYNOPSIS πŸ¦‹

struct il_vif_priv {
    u8 ibss_bssid_sta_id;
};

that's it. that's the whole struct. one (1) member. iconic minimalism honestly πŸŽ€


🌸 Members 🌸

  • u8 ibss_bssid_sta_id β€” the one and only field, bestie. no further notes given, it's giving "mystery but make it a u8" πŸ™ˆ

🧚 Description 🧚

so here's the vibe check πŸ”₯: when mac80211 allocates a virtual interface, it can allocate space for us to put data into. that's it, that's the tea β˜• β€” mac80211 is out here doing the allocation, and we get a lil pocket of room to stash our stuff in. lowkey generous of it tbh πŸ’œ

fr fr that's the entire page β€” a struct, one u8, and a dream πŸ«ΆπŸ’–

mwah πŸ’‹ β€” this came from ./drivers/net/wireless/intel/i..., dated October 2026, and it's literally titled struct il_vif_priv(9). slay, go touch some kernel code ✨
