STRUCT IWL_SCAN_CONFIG_V2(9)

💅 struct iwl_scan_config_v2(9)

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ — today's main character is struct iwl_scan_config_v2, aka the scan configuration command. yes, it's networking driver lore, yes it's iconic, and no you can't skip it. 🎀

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

struct iwl_scan_config_v2 — the scan configuration command, fr fr 🦋

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct iwl_scan_config_v2 {
    __le32 flags;
    __le32 tx_chains;
    __le32 rx_chains;
    __le32 legacy_rates;
    __le32 out_of_channel_time[SCAN_TWO_LMACS];
    __le32 suspend_time[SCAN_TWO_LMACS];
    struct iwl_scan_dwell dwell;
    u8 mac_addr[ETH_ALEN];
    u8 bcast_sta_id;
    u8 channel_flags;
    u8 channel_array[];
 };

like, look at her. every field is doing its little job and she's serving struct realness 💅

🫶 Members 🫶

here's the field-by-field vibe check, no cap:

• flags — enum scan_config_flags 🌈
• tx_chains — the valid_tx antenna, using the ANT_* definitions 📡
• rx_chains — the valid_rx antenna, also using the ANT_* definitions 📡
• legacy_rates — the default legacy rates, as in enum scan_config_rates 🍓
• out_of_channel_time — the default max out of serving channel time ⏳
• suspend_time — the default max suspend time 😴
• dwell — the dwells for the scan 🧚
• mac_addr — the default mac address to be used in probes 💌
• bcast_sta_id — the index of the station in the fw 🏷️
• channel_flags — the default channel flags: enum iwl_channel_flags and scan_config_channel_flag 🚩
• channel_array — the default supported channels 📶
