STRUCT LINK_STATION_DEL_PARAMETERS(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

🌸 NAME 🌸

struct link_station_del_parameters - link station deletion parameters

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

okay so here's the struct layout, bestie — copy it exactly, fr fr:

       struct link_station_del_parameters {
           const u8 *mld_mac;
           u32 link_id;
        };

🎀 Members 🎀

  • mld_mac — MAC address of the station
  • link_id — the link id

💖 Description 💖

Used to delete a link station entry (or all stations). 💅

👀 SEE ALSO 👀

okay bestie, this is the part where the manpage basically dumps the whole guest list of the cfg80211 universe on you 😭 and honestly? it's giving "everyone who's anyone in wireless" and you're gonna need a snack. but no skipping — every single one of these is invited. let's go 💅

first up, the actual source home plus the two starter-pack intros:

  • Kernel file ./include/net/cfg80211.h
  • Introduction(9)
  • Device registration(9)

then the channel + rate + capability core, which is lowkey the whole vibe of the file:

🛠️ Actions and configuration (the "do stuff" era) 🛠️

this whole block is the config side of life — chandefs, AP settings, station params, all of it. slay.

then the surveying + crypto + beacon/MBSSID/RNR stack:

and the wiphy lifecycle + locking + work helpers, aka the "keep it alive and thread-safe" saga:

then wireless_dev + channel helpers:

✨ Utility functions ✨

the grab-bag of "handy little helpers" — channel math, rate lookup, radiotap, hdrlen, all that:

🦋 Data path helpers 🦋

the conversion + element-finding + 802.3 glue squad:

🌸 Regulatory enforcement infrastructure 🌸

the "please don't break the law, bestie" zone 💀:

and the internal db bit:

then the scanning/BSS result + mgmt rx/tx notification stack, including assoc-resp and MLME mgmt:

📡 RFkill, Vendor commands, Test mode — the extra-credit squad 📡

the rfkill integration trio:

vendor command + reply/event plumbing:

and test mode:

💜 the big connection / notification roster 💜

FILS, connect responses, roam, port auth, disconnect — the whole "you're online now" ceremony:

remain-on-channel + mgmt tx expiry + tid stats + station add/del:

mgmt rx/tx status + control-port + CQM notifications:

and finally the radar/CAC/gtk/pmksa/spurious-frame/report crew:

okay bestie, we're deep in the SEE ALSO section now — here's the rest of the squad, every single one of them, all (9), no skips, no cuts 💅

and that's the whole see-also squad, all 64 of them accounted for, not one missing 🫶 this page lives in ./include/net, October 2026 vintage, and it's the struct link_...l_parameters(9) kernel API manual — so go forth, pass your link params correctly, and slay ✨ bye bestie, ily, drink water 💜🎀
