STRUCT IWL_MAC_DATA_PIBSS(9)
π struct iwl_mac_data_pibss(9) π
okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual entry for struct iwl_mac_data_pibss β like, this is the manual page, and the thing it's documenting is a struct. One struct. One member. And honestly? She's iconic for it. Minimalist queen energy. β¨
πΈ NAME πΈ
struct iwl_mac_data_pibss β Pseudo IBSS config data. that's it, that's the whole vibe π«Ά
β¨ SYNOPSIS β¨
so here's literally the entire struct, no cap:
struct iwl_mac_data_pibss {
__le32 stats_interval;
};
look at her. tiny. perfect. main character energy in like four lines. π
π¦ Members π¦
one (1) member, and we're obsessed:
stats_intervalβ ngl this is the interval, measured in TU, between the statistics notifications that get sent to the host. so like, everystats_intervalTU, the firmware slides into the host's DMs with some stats. that's the whole job. periodt. π
π SEE ALSO π
okay so there are a lot of friends in this group chat, and we're not leaving anyone out. starting with the actual kernel file this lives in:
Kernel file ./drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlwifi/fw/api/mac.h
and now, the whole squad, in order, no skips, fr fr:

like, that's the entire friend group and every single one of them is linked. iykyk π₯
nope, no warnings on this one β she's just a lil config struct minding her business. still, read the SEE ALSO list, bestie, it's giving lore. π
and that's the page!! π source for this lil beauty: ./drivers/net/wireless/intel/i... and it's dated October 2026. ty for reading, mwah, go touch some firmware ππ§π
