STRUCT IWL_MEI_CONN_INFO(9)

💅 struct iwl_mei_conn_info(9)

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ — this one's about struct iwl_mei_conn_info, which is literally just a lil bundle of connection info. no cap, that's the whole vibe. it's the struct that holds the tea about a connection, and we're gonna go through every single member together 🫶

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

struct iwl_mei_conn_info — connection info 💫

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's the whole shape of it, bestie — every field, exactly as it lives:

struct iwl_mei_conn_info {
    u8 lp_state;
    u8 auth_mode;
    u8 ssid_len;
    u8 channel;
    u8 band;
    u8 pairwise_cipher;
    u8 bssid[ETH_ALEN];
    u8 ssid[IEEE80211_MAX_SSID_LEN];
 };

like… it's giving "small struct, big responsibilities" 👑

🎀 Members 🎀

okay so these are the individual fields, and yes we're doing all of them, no skipping 💖

• lp_state — the link protection state 🌈
• auth_mode — the authentication mode 🔐
• ssid_len — the length of the SSID 📏
• channel — the associated channel 📡
• band — the associated band 🎶
• pairwise_cipher — the cipher used for unicast packets 🔒
• bssid — the BSSID 🏷️
• ssid — the SSID 💌

ngl that SEE ALSO list is a whole syllabus 😭 but it's iconic, we love a thorough cross-reference moment 💀
