STRUCT QLINK_RESP_GET_MAC_INFO(9)

💖 NAME 💖

struct qlink_resp_get_mac_info — response for QLINK_CMD_MAC_INFO command.

Okay bestie, welcome to the Kernel API Manual page for struct qlink_resp_get_mac_info. This is the response struct for the QLINK_CMD_MAC_INFO command, and we are gonna cover every single thing the manual gives us. No skipping, no cap. 🫶

🎀 Members 🎀

The manual gives specific little blurbs for these members — everyone else is still chillin' in the struct up top. 💅

• dev_mac — MAC address of physical WMAC device (used for first BSS on specified WMAC).
• num_tx_chain — Number of transmit chains used by WMAC.
• num_rx_chain — Number of receive chains used by WMAC.
• vht_cap_mod_mask — mask specifying which VHT capabilities can be altered.
• ht_cap_mod_mask — mask specifying which HT capabilities can be altered.
• max_ap_assoc_sta — Maximum number of associations supported by WMAC.
• radar_detect_widths — bitmask of channels BW for which WMAC can detect radar.
• max_scan_ssids — maximum number of SSIDs the device can scan for in any scan.
• bands_cap — wireless bands WMAC can operate in, bitmap of enum qlink_band.
• alpha2 — country code ID firmware is configured to.
• n_reg_rules — number of regulatory rules TLVs in variable portion of the message.
• dfs_region — regulatory DFS region, one of enum qlink_dfs_regions.
• var_info — variable-length WMAC info data.

🦋 Description 🦋

Data describing specific physical device providing wireless MAC functionality.

It's literally the data that describes the specific physical device giving you wireless MAC functionality. Hardware-identity realness, no cap. ✨
