STRUCT IWL_SCAN_PROBE_PARAMS_V3(9)

💅 struct iwl_scan_probe_params_v3(9) 💅

okay so bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual ✨ — this is the page for struct iwl_scan_probe_params_v3, and honestly? it's giving "the probe-request era, before v4 showed up and ate" 🦋

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

struct iwl_scan_probe_params_v3 — scan probe parameters 🎀

---

🧚 SYNOPSIS 🧚

struct iwl_scan_probe_params_v3 {
    struct iwl_scan_probe_req preq;
    u8 ssid_num;
    u8 short_ssid_num;
    u8 bssid_num;
    u8 reserved;
    struct iwl_ssid_ie direct_scan[PROBE_OPTION_MAX];
    __le32 short_ssid[SCAN_SHORT_SSID_MAX_SIZE];
    u8 bssid_array[SCAN_BSSID_MAX_SIZE][ETH_ALEN];
 };

no cap, that's the whole struct — every field, every array, every <italic>u8</italic>, right there 👑

🎀 Members 🎀

bestie, let's go field by field, because each one is lowkey carrying the whole scan vibe 👇

• preq — scan probe request params 💌 the actual probe-request payload situation.
• ssid_num — number of valid SSIDs in the direct scan array 🍓 (yes, "valid" — the rest are just hanging out, uninvited).
• short_ssid_num — number of valid short SSIDs in the short ssid array 🧚
• bssid_num — number of valid bssid in the bssids array 📍
• reserved — reserved 🙈 literally just vibing there, doing nothing, main character energy of a padding field.
• direct_scan — list of ssids 🔥 (array is struct iwl_ssid_ie direct_scan[PROBE_OPTION_MAX], iykyk).
• short_ssid — array of short ssids ⭐ (__le32 short_ssid[SCAN_SHORT_SSID_MAX_SIZE] — little-endian, periodt).
• bssid_array — array of bssids 👑 (u8 bssid_array[SCAN_BSSID_MAX_SIZE][ETH_ALEN] — that's <italic>ETH_ALEN</italic> bytes per bssid, we love a sized array).

💀 quick vibe check: each <italic>*_num</italic> field tells you how many entries of its matching array are actually valid. Don't be the person who reads past the count.
