STRUCT IWL_SCAN_CHANNEL_PARAMS_V7(9)

💅 struct iwl_scan_channel_params_v7(9) 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual, section 9 — we're talking about struct iwl_scan_channel_params_v7 today and honestly? she's giving scan-request royalty. 👑

---

✨ NAME ✨

struct iwl_scan_channel_params_v7 — channel params 🎀

Like, literally the channel params. That's the whole vibe. iykyk.

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

struct iwl_scan_channel_params_v7 {
    u8 flags;
    u8 count;
    u8 n_aps_override[2];
    struct iwl_scan_channel_cfg_umac channel_config[SCAN_MAX_NUM_CHANS_V3];
};

no cap, that's the whole struct. look at her. iconic. 🌸

💖 Members 💖

• flags — channel flags, and the type is enum iwl_scan_channel_flags. that's it, that's the field. 💅
• count — num of channels in scan request. so basically, how many channels we're actually asking the scan to go touch. 🔥
• n_aps_override — okay this one is lowkey the main character: it overrides the number of APs the FW uses to calculate dwell time when adaptive dwell is used. and the deets are very specific, so listen up: channel k will use n_aps_override[i] when BIT(20 + i) is set in channel_config[k].flags. 🧚 write that down, it's giving bit-math realness.
• channel_config — array of explicit channel configurations for 2.4Ghz and 5.2Ghz bands. both bands, bestie, she's versatile like that. 🦋

ngl bestie, a struct this specific is a "read it twice before you touch the flags" situation — but you got this. 🫶

✨ mwah, that's a wrap ✨ this cutie pie of a page came out of the kernel source at ./drivers/net/wireless/intel/i..., dated October 2026, and yes that's the whole footer tea — bye bestie, slay your scans 💜🎀
