STRUCT IWL_MVM_ADD_STA_KEY_CMD(9)

🦋 struct iwl_mvm_add_sta_key_cmd(9) 🦋

okay bestie, so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual and it's literally all about adding and modifying a station key 💅 yes, that kind of key, the crypto kind, not your house key, not your car key, none of that.

✨ NAME ✨

struct iwl_mvm_add_sta_key_cmd — add/modify sta key 🔑

like it's giving "one struct to rule them all" and honestly? it ate.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

here's the whole vibe, character for character, no cap:

struct iwl_mvm_add_sta_key_cmd {
    struct iwl_mvm_add_sta_key_common common;
    __le64 rx_mic_key;
    __le64 tx_mic_key;
    __le64 transmit_seq_cnt;
 };

look at her. four fields. main character energy fr fr 🫶

🎀 Members 🎀

okay so let's meet the cast 💖

• common — peep struct iwl_mvm_add_sta_key_common for the deets on this one, she's the shared queen of the group 👑
• rx_mic_key — the TKIP RX unicast or multicast key 🧚 like, receive-side MIC, ifykyk
• tx_mic_key — the TKIP TX key 💫 transmit side, doing her thing
• transmit_seq_cnt — TSC, aka the transmit packet number 🔢 the little counter that keeps track, obsessed

⭐ Note ⭐

ngl this is the important bit, so listen up bestie 🙈

This struct is used for both v2 and v3 — the difference being in the way the common.rx_secur_seq_cnt is used: in v2 that's the strange hole format, in v3 it's just a u64. literally that's the whole plot twist 💀
