💖 STRUCT IWL_MISSED_BEACONS_NOTIF_VER_3 💖

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual — yes we're doing kernel docs now, and honestly? iconic. today's main character is struct iwl_missed_beacons_notif_ver_3, and no cap, it's literally just the receipts for when your wifi card missed some beacons. 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

struct iwl_missed_beacons_notif_ver_3 — the whole lowdown on missed beacons (MISSED_BEACONS_NOTIFICATION = 0xa2). that 0xa2 is the notification's whole identity, iykyk 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct iwl_missed_beacons_notif_ver_3 {
    __le32 mac_id;
    __le32 consec_missed_beacons_since_last_rx;
    __le32 consec_missed_beacons;
    __le32 num_expected_beacons;
    __le32 num_recvd_beacons;
 };

like, five __le32 fields, zero drama, periodt ✨

🎀 Members 🎀

so here's the vibe check on every single member, no skips:

• mac_id — the interface ID. it's basically the field's little name tag at the party 🫶
• consec_missed_beacons_since_last_rx — number of consecutive missed beacons since last RX. yes the whole sentence is the field name, she's highkey extra 💀
• consec_missed_beacons — number of consecutive missed beacons. the shorter, chiller version of the one above 😭
• num_expected_beacons — number of expected beacons. what we thought was gonna show up 🌈
• num_recvd_beacons — number of received beacons. what actually showed up. the math is mathing 🍓
