STRUCT QLINK_CMD_CHANGE_STA(9)

✨ struct qlink_cmd_change_sta — data for QLINK_CMD_CHANGE_STA command ✨

okay so bestie, this is a page from the Kernel API Manual (section 9, the kernel-functions one 💅) and it's all about one very specific little struct. buckle up, it's a short one but it's iconic 💖

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

the shape of it, literally:

struct qlink_cmd_change_sta {
    struct qlink_cmd chdr;
    struct qlink_sta_info_state flag_update;
    __le16 if_type;
    __le16 vlanid;
    u8 sta_addr[ETH_ALEN];
    u8 rsvd[2];
 };

like, six fields, zero notes, absolutely slaying in its simplicity 🫶

🎀 Members 🎀

• flag_update — the STA flags you're updating, bestie. that's the whole vibe.
• if_type — the mode of interface operation, and it's one of enum qlink_iface_type (not just any number, pick from the enum, iykyk).
• vlanid — the VLAN ID you're assigning to this specific STA 🦋
• sta_addr — the address of the STA whose parameters you're setting. it's u8 sta_addr[ETH_ALEN], so yes, MAC-address-shaped.

and yeah, there's a chdr and a rsvd[2] in there too — chdr is the struct qlink_cmd header riding along at the front, and rsvd is reserved, so please don't be weird about it 🙈

ngl the SEE ALSO section is longer than the actual page and that's genuinely so real of it 💀

and that's the whole thing, bestie! 🧚 source file lives at ./drivers/net/wireless/quanten... (yes it's truncated like that in the footer, don't @ me), dated October 2026, and it's struct qlink_cmd_change_sta(9) all the way down. go forth and change some STAs 💜✨
