STRUCT IWL_MAC_WIFI_GEN_SUPPORT_V2(9)

πŸ“¦ version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

πŸ’– struct iwl_mac_wifi_gen_support_v2 β€” from the Kernel API Manual, bestie πŸ’–

okay so picture this: you're deep in the kernel docs, specifically the struct iwl_mac_wifi_gen_support_v2(9) page of the Kernel API Manual, and you're like "what even is this". don't worry queen, i got you. this is literally the parameters of iwl_mac_config_cmd with support up to eht as in version 2 of the command. that's the whole vibe. let's get into it ✨


🌸 NAME 🌸

struct iwl_mac_wifi_gen_support_v2 β€” the parameters of iwl_mac_config_cmd with support up to eht as in version 2 of the command. no cap, that's what it is 🫢

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's the shape of her, exactly as she is, don't touch a single character:

struct iwl_mac_wifi_gen_support_v2 {
    __le16 he_support;
    __le16 he_ap_support;
    __le32 eht_support;
 };

(it's giving "small struct, big responsibilities" honestly πŸ’…)

πŸŽ€ Members πŸŽ€

  • he_support β€” does this MAC support HE? that's the whole question this field is asking. yes or no, bestie πŸ”₯
  • he_ap_support β€” HE AP enabled, aka "pseudo HE", and note the caveat: no trigger frame handling. so it's HE-ish, but not the full thing. lowkey iconic, highkey limited πŸ™ˆ
  • eht_support β€” does this MAC support EHT? but here's the thing: it requires he_support. so you can't just skip ahead to EHT, you gotta have HE first. the pipeline is real 🌈
heads up bestie: eht_support requires he_support. don't come for me, that's literally what the page says πŸ’€
