STRUCT IWL5000_CHANNEL_SWITCH_CMD(9)

💅 NAME 💅

struct iwl5000_channel_switch_cmd — the channel switch command, but make it 5000 series ✨ (this page lives in the Kernel API Manual, bestie, so jot that down 🎀)

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

okay so picture the whole struct, right, and it's giving:

struct iwl5000_channel_switch_cmd {
    u8 band;
    u8 expect_beacon;
    __le16 channel;
    __le32 rxon_flags;
    __le32 rxon_filter_flags;
    __le32 switch_time;
    __le32 reserved[2][IWL_PWR_NUM_HT_OFDM_ENTRIES + IWL_PWR_CCK_ENTRIES];
};

no cap, that's the entire vibe 💖

🦋 Members 🦋

• band — literally just the band, okay? 0 means 5.2GHz, 1 means 2.4GHz. pick your fighter 🫶
• expect_beacon — 0 = resume transmits right after the channel switch, 1 = wait for the beacon before resuming transmits. like, one of these is patient and one of these is not 🙈
• channel — the new channel number, slay 🔥
• rxon_flags — Rx on flags, that's it, that's the whole description 👑
• rxon_filter_flags — the filtering parameters 🎀
• switch_time — switch time, and it's in extended beacon format (iykyk) ⭐
• reserved — reserved bytes. they're reserved. hands off 💅
