STRUCT IWL_SCAN_RESULTS_NOTIF(9)

💅 struct iwl_scan_results_notif(9) 💅

okay so real talk, this is a page out of the Kernel API Manual — yes that one, the big scary one — and the header up top truncates the name to struct iwl_...esults_notif(9). not me getting cut off mid-word 😭 anyway it's struct iwl_scan_results_notif and it's lowkey iconic.

✨ NAME ✨

struct iwl_scan_results_notif — scan results for one channel — SCAN_RESULT_NTF_API_S_VER_3. that's the whole vibe: one channel, all the tea. 💖

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

struct iwl_scan_results_notif {
    u8 channel;
    u8 band;
    u8 probe_status;
    u8 num_probe_not_sent;
    __le32 duration;
};

look at her. five fields. zero notes. she ate and left no crumbs. 🫶

🌸 Members 🌸

each field is a little main character, so let's do 'em one by one:

• channel — which channel the results are from. i.e. the actual neighborhood these results live in. 📍
• band — 0 for 5.2 GHz, 1 for 2.4 GHz. that's it, that's the mapping, memorize it bestie, there's genuinely no other value documented here. 🦋
• probe_status — SCAN_PROBE_STATUS_*, indicates success of probe request. so basically it's the vibe check in enum form: did the probe request go through or not. ✨
• num_probe_not_sent — # of request that weren't sent due to not enough time. yes "request", singular, that's how the original says it, i don't make the rules — it's a count of the requests that got skipped because the clock ran out. 💀
• duration — duration spent in channel, in usecs. microseconds, my beloved. 🔥

like, fifty-four of them. fifty-four!! the scan.h friend group is enormous and i love that for them. 👑

ngl the version suffixes (_v1, _v2, _v4, _v7, _v8, _v11, _v12, _v17, _v18, and yes _parms_v1 with the extra s) are exactly as written — do not "correct" them, they are who they are. 🙈

and that's the page!! no cap, that's genuinely all of it. 🧚

signing off 💌: source ./drivers/net/wireless/intel/i... (yes it's truncated in the original too, she's mysterious like that), dated October 2026 — and the footer reminds us, once again, that this is struct iwl_...esults_notif(9). slay. periodt. 🍓
