STRUCT IWL_MAC_DATA_AP(9)

💅 struct iwl_mac_data_ap — bestie edition ✨

okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and it's all about struct iwl_mac_data_ap — literally the configuration data for an AP MAC context 🫶 if that sentence made your eyes glaze over, same, but stay with me, it's actually not that deep.

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

struct iwl_mac_data_ap — configuration data for AP MAC context. that's it. that's the whole vibe. 💖

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's the shape of it, copy it exactly bestie, no cap:

struct iwl_mac_data_ap {
    __le32 beacon_time;
    __le64 beacon_tsf;
    __le32 bi;
    __le32 reserved1;
    __le32 dtim_interval;
    __le32 reserved2;
    __le32 mcast_qid;
    __le32 beacon_template;
 };

---

🎀 Members 🎀

every field, in order, no skipping, we don't do that here 👑

• beacon_time — beacon transmit time, but in system time. that's the unit, don't @ me. ⏰
• beacon_tsf — beacon transmit time again, except this one's in TSF. yes, it's a __le64, she's built different 💅
• bi — beacon interval, measured in TU. iconic little abbreviation, iykyk.
• reserved1 — reserved. that's it. she's reserved. move along 🙈
• dtim_interval — dtim transmit time, in TU. (dtim my beloved 🫶)
• reserved2 — also reserved. yes there's two of them. balance ✨
• mcast_qid — queue ID for multicast traffic. note the period, it's in the original, we keep it. 💀
• beacon_template — beacon template ID. the blueprint, the moment, the main character 🌟

⚠️ NOTE ⚠️

obsolete from VER2 and on. so like… she had her era, she ate, and now she's retired. respect the icon but don't use her for new stuff fr fr. 🪦
