STRUCT IWL_MAC_WIFI_GEN_SUPPORT(9)

💖 struct iwl_mac_wifi_gen_support(9) 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — this is the page for struct iwl_mac_wifi_gen_support, and it's basically the little glow-up record that says what your MAC is capable of. Let's get into it 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

struct iwl_mac_wifi_gen_support — these are the parameters of iwl_mac_config_cmd with support up to uhr as in version 3 of the command ( MAC_CONTEXT_CONFIG_CMD = 0x8 ) 💅

Like, that's the whole vibe: it's the "which of the fancy new Wi-Fi generations does this MAC actually do" struct, and it lives in version 3 of that command. The command ID is literally 0x8, no cap.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct iwl_mac_wifi_gen_support {
    u8 he_support;
    u8 he_ap_support;
    u8 eht_support;
    u8 uhr_support;
    __le32 reserved;
 };

Five fields. That's it. Look at her, all tidy and aligned 🎀

---

👑 Members 👑

okay so here's the member-by-member breakdown, bestie, each one gets its own moment:

• he_support — does this MAC support HE? lowkey the whole question, answered in one u8 ✨
• he_ap_support — HE AP enabled, i.e. the "pseudo HE" situation, and heads up: no trigger frame handling here. So it's HE-coded but not doing the full trigger-frame thing 🙈
• eht_support — does this MAC support EHT? and listen — it requires he_support. You can't skip a generation, that's not how this works 💀
• uhr_support — does this MAC support UHR? and same deal, it requires eht_support. Chain of custody, periodt 🔥
• reserved — reserved for alignment and to match version 2's size. She's not here to do anything, she's here to keep the vibes (and the struct size) consistent 🎀

ngl bestie, the fun part is that eht_support and uhr_support come with hard dependencies — respect the chain or your struct is lying to the firmware 🙈
