STRUCT IWL_MISSED_VAP_NOTIF(9)

💖 struct iwl_missed_vap_notif(9) — the Kernel API manual, but make it make sense 💖

okay so bestie, gather round, because we're looking at struct iwl_missed_vap_notif from the Kernel API manual and honestly? it's giving "small struct, big feelings" 🥺✨ it's literally the notification-of-missing-vap-detection situation, and we're gonna get into it.

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

struct iwl_missed_vap_notif — notification of missing vap detection. that's it, that's the whole vibe. the ucode is basically sliding into your notifications like "bestie… i think we missed a vap 👀"

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

here's the whole struct, copied exactly, no cap, do not touch a single character 🔥

struct iwl_missed_vap_notif {
    __le32 mac_id;
    u8 num_beacon_intervals_elapsed;
    u8 profile_periodicity;
    u8 reserved[2];
 };

look at her. four fields. iconic. she's compact and she knows it 💅

🎀 Members 🎀

like a lil group chat roll call, one member at a time 🫶

• mac_id — the mac for which the ucode sends the notification for. so like, which mac this whole "we missed a vap" message is about. the ucode is being specific, as it should 💖
• num_beacon_intervals_elapsed — beacons elpased with no vap profile inside. (yes, "elpased" — that's the manpage's spelling, not mine, we do not correct the elders 🙈) so this is the count of beacon intervals that went by with no vap profile in them. lowkey ominous ngl 😭
• profile_periodicity — beacons period to have our profile inside. i.e. how often, in beacons, our profile is supposed to show up. the expected rhythm, if you will 🌸
• reserved — reserved for alignment purposes. filler queen 👑 she's not here to do work, she's here to keep the struct lined up correctly and honestly? respect.
