STRUCT IWL_MAC_DATA_PIBSS(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’… struct iwl_mac_data_pibss(9) πŸ’…

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. ✨


🌸 NAME 🌸

struct iwl_mac_data_pibss β€” Pseudo IBSS config data. that's it, that's the whole vibe 🫢


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

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. πŸŽ€


πŸ¦‹ Members πŸ¦‹

one (1) member, and we're obsessed:

  • stats_interval β€” ngl this is the interval, measured in TU, between the statistics notifications that get sent to the host. so like, every stats_interval TU, the firmware slides into the host's DMs with some stats. that's the whole job. periodt. πŸ’…

πŸ’œ SEE ALSO πŸ’œ

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:

  • enum iwl_mac_protection_flags(9)
  • enum iwl_mac_types(9)
  • enum iwl_tsf_id(9)
  • struct iwl_mac_data_ap(9)

like, that's the entire friend group and every single one of them is linked. iykyk πŸ”₯


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. πŸ‘‘

and that's the page!! 🌈 source for this lil beauty: ./drivers/net/wireless/intel/i... and it's dated October 2026. ty for reading, mwah, go touch some firmware πŸ“πŸ§šπŸ’–
