STRUCT IWL_SCAN_OFFLOAD_PROFILE_MATCH(9)

💅 struct iwl_scan_offload_profile_match(9) — match information ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual 🎀 — yes that's the manual name, we're in the driver-kernel-docs girlie corner of the universe now. This page is struct iwl_...rofile_match(9) (the header's a lil truncated, she's mysterious like that 💅) and she's about match information. Literally the receipts of what matched during a scan offload. No cap, it's giving "who hit on me and where" but for wifi.

✨ NAME ✨

struct iwl_scan_offload_profile_match — match information 🦋

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

struct iwl_scan_offload_profile_match {
    u8 bssid[ETH_ALEN];
    __le16 reserved;
    u8 channel;
    u8 energy;
    u8 matching_feature;
    u8 matching_channels[SCAN_OFFLOAD_MATCHING_CHANNELS_LEN];
 };

copy that exactly, bestie — character for character, no "fixing" the spacing, she is what she is 💖

👑 Members 👑

• bssid — the matched bssid 🫶 like, the actual BSSID that matched. that's the whole point.
• reserved — reserved 🙈 yeah she's just vibing there, taking up space, not doing much. iconic honestly.
• channel — the channel where the match occurred 📡 so you know exactly where the magic happened.
• energy — energy ⚡ literally just "energy". that's the whole description. short queen.
• matching_feature — feature matches 🔥 which feature is doing the matching, iykyk.
• matching_channels — bitmap of channels that matched 💀 and it's referencing the channels that you passed in the scan offload request. so it's not inventing new channels, it's pointing back at yours. periodt.

like, that's the entire group chat and every single one of them is invited 🧚

ngl bestie, that list is a lot — but you asked for all of them and I would never do you dirty by skipping one 💀

and that's the page!! 🍓 mwah 💋 — this lil cutie lives in ./drivers/net/wireless/intel/i... (the source path, truncated in the footer the same way she was in the header, she's consistent ✨), she's dated October 2026 🌸, and the footer credits her as struct iwl_...rofile_match(9) with the version Kernel API Manual on the flip side. slay, go read your scan results 💅🦋
