STRUCT IWL_MISSED_BEACONS_NOTIF(9)

💖 struct iwl_missed_beacons_notif 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ this one's a lil struct that literally just tells you when the firmware noticed the beacons went poof 👻

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

struct iwl_missed_beacons_notif — this is what the firmware sends your way when beacons get lost, like "bestie the beacon is GONE" 😭 (and its ID is MISSED_BEACONS_NOTIF = 0xF6, no cap 💅)

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct iwl_missed_beacons_notif {
    __le32 link_id;
    __le32 consec_missed_beacons_since_last_rx;
    __le32 consec_missed_beacons;
    __le32 other_link_id;
    __le32 consec_missed_beacons_other_link;
 };

like… five __le32 fields and a dream 🫶 that's the whole vibe

---

🦋 MEMBERS 🦋

• link_id — the fw link ID, the main character identifier 🌟
• consec_missed_beacons_since_last_rx — how many consecutive missed beacons you've got since the last RX, lowkey a running count 👀
• consec_missed_beacons — straight up the number of consecutive missed beacons, periodt 💀
• other_link_id — ngl this one is only used in EMLSR. it's the fw link ID for consec_missed_beacons_other_link. if it's invalid it'll be IWL_MVM_FW_LINK_ID_INVALID (0xff), so watch for that 🙈
• consec_missed_beacons_other_link — the number of consecutive missed beacons on other_link_id, the side quest count fr fr 🎀
