STRUCT IWL_SCAN_REQ_PARAMS_V17(9)

💅 struct iwl_scan_req_params_v17(9) — Kernel API Manual 🎀

okay so bestie, welcome to the <pink>Kernel API Manual</pink> ✨ and specifically to the page for struct iwl_scan_req_params_v17 — the v17 edition of the scan request parameters. yes there are other versions. yes you will meet them in SEE ALSO. no we are not okay about it 💀

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

struct iwl_scan_req_params_v17 — scan request parameters (v17) 🦋

like, the whole bundle of stuff you hand over when you want a scan to happen. v17 specifically. main character version energy 👑

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct iwl_scan_req_params_v17 {
    struct iwl_scan_general_params_v11 general_params;
    struct iwl_scan_channel_params_v7 channel_params;
    struct iwl_scan_periodic_parms_v1 periodic_params;
    struct iwl_scan_probe_params_v4 probe_params;
 };

look at her. four little struct members, all nested, all doing their own thing. it's giving "carrying the whole group project on her back" 🫶

---

🎀 Members 🎀

• general_params — a struct iwl_scan_general_params_v11 💖 the general vibe of the scan, y'know?
• channel_params — a struct iwl_scan_channel_params_v7 🌈 all about the channels, bestie
• periodic_params — a struct iwl_scan_periodic_parms_v1 🦋 (yes it's spelled parms in the type name, not me, don't come for me 🙈) the periodic-scan side of things
• probe_params — a struct iwl_scan_probe_params_v4 ⭐ the probe request situation

each one is literally just its own struct, exactly as written, no renaming no merging no "fixing" — we respect the source code in this house 💅

that's the whole squad, no one left behind 🫶 lowkey a lot of structs. highkey obsessed with how many _v numbers there are 💀

---

bestie reminder: the version numbers in these names are not decorative. _v17 is not _v18 and it is definitely not _v12. don't swap them and then come crying to me 😭

🌸 that's the whole page! source/version note time: this one comes from ./drivers/net/wireless/intel/i... and it's dated October 2026, and yes the footer literally reads struct iwl_s...q_params_v17(9) because terminal width is a hater 💅 slay, go scan something, ily 💖
