STRUCT IWL_SCAN_OFFLOAD_PROFILE(9)

💖 STRUCT IWL_SCAN_OFFLOAD_PROFILE(9) 💖

okay bestie, so this one is a kernel API manual page for struct iwl_scan_offload_profile — yes the title got all truncated in the header because apparently kernel pages are dramatic like that, but we're calling it by its full name here 🫶 — and the vibe is: it's literally the struct known as SCAN_OFFLOAD_PROFILE_S. she's a little scan-offload profile record, and she has opinions about what to match.

---

✨ NAME ✨

struct iwl_scan_offload_profile — SCAN_OFFLOAD_PROFILE_S, no cap 💅

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

struct iwl_scan_offload_profile {
    u8 ssid_index;
    u8 unicast_cipher;
    u8 auth_alg;
    u8 network_type;
    u8 band_selection;
    u8 client_bitmap;
    u8 reserved[2];
 };

look at her. seven fields, two of them are just reserved padding because alignment said so. iconic. 👑

🌸 Members 🌸

💜 the actual fields, one by one

• ssid_index — this is the index into the ssid list that lives in the fixed part. so like, "which ssid are we talking about" 🦋
• unicast_cipher — the encryption algorithm to match — and yes it's a bitmap, so multiple bits can vibe at once 🔥
• auth_alg — the authentication algorithm to match — also a bitmap, bestie, also multiple bits 🧚
• network_type — this one's an enum iwl_scan_offload_network_type ✨
• band_selection — and this one's an enum iwl_scan_offload_band_selection 🌈
• client_bitmap — the clients that are out here waiting for a match, typed as enum scan_framework_client. the main characters of the waitlist honestly 💀
• reserved — reserved. that's it. that's the field. she's just holding space 🙈

ngl the whole struct is basically a little matchmaking filter: ssid, cipher, auth, network type, band, and who's waiting. no surprises, just clean data. slay.

that's the whole page bestie, every last bit of it 💅✨

bye ily, go match some networks 🦋💖
