STRUCT IWL_MAC_BEACON_CMD_V6(9)

💖 struct iwl_mac_beacon_cmd_v6 — beacon template command ✨

okay bestie, so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual (the (9) after the name is literally its whole vibe, iykyk) and it's all about struct iwl_mac_beacon_cmd_v6, which is the beacon template command. yes ma'am, beacons. the little "i'm here!!" packets. iconic behavior honestly 🎀

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

struct iwl_mac_beacon_cmd_v6 — beacon template command. that's it, that's the whole name section, she's brief and she knows it 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's the literal shape of her, do not touch, copy exactly:

struct iwl_mac_beacon_cmd_v6 {
    struct iwl_tx_cmd_v6_params tx;
    __le32 template_id;
    __le32 tim_idx;
    __le32 tim_size;
    struct ieee80211_hdr frame[];
};

look at that trailing frame[] — a flexible array member, main character energy fr fr 🌈

---

🦋 MEMBERS 🦋

so these are her fields, one by one, no skips, we're doing all of them:

• tx — the tx commands associated with the beacon frame. the whole transmission situation, lowkey the important part 💜
• template_id — currently equal to the mac context id of the coresponding mac. (that's "corresponding," she just spells it like that, we don't fix it 🙈)
• tim_idx — the offset of the tim IE in the beacon. where the TIM information element sits 📍
• tim_size — the length of the tim IE. how big that TIM IE is 📏
• frame — the template of the beacon frame. the actual beacon blueprint itself, the moment ✨

okay this is the long part and we are NOT skipping a single one, bestie, every single reference is getting her moment. first off, the file she lives in:

like, that's the whole ensemble cast 🫶 go read them, they ate 💖

ngl there's no warnings or exit statuses on this page, it's just a struct page — so nothing dangerous to warn you about. just don't go renaming fields, okay? 😭

and that's the page!! this cutie comes straight out of ./drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlwifi/fw/api/tx.h, and this particular rendering is dated October 2026 — so like, future girl summer 🌸 mwah, bye bestie, go learn your beacons 💅🎀⭐
