STRUCT QLINK_STA_STATS(9)

💅 struct qlink_sta_stats(9) 💅

okay so this is straight out of the Kernel API Manual (section 9, kernel API, iykyk) and bestie… it's giving wireless driver tea. it's a struct that carries the whole stats card of a STA (a station, aka a client device) in the Quantenna/qtnfmac qlink world. let's get into it 🎀

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

struct qlink_sta_stats — literally the data for QTN_TLV_ID_STA_STATS. that's the whole name, that's the whole vibe ✨

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

struct qlink_sta_stats {
    __le64 rx_bytes;
    __le64 tx_bytes;
    __le64 rx_beacon;
    __le64 rx_duration;
    __le64 t_offset;
    __le32 connected_time;
    __le32 inactive_time;
    __le32 rx_packets;
    __le32 tx_packets;
    __le32 tx_retries;
    __le32 tx_failed;
    __le32 rx_dropped_misc;
    __le32 beacon_loss_count;
    __le32 expected_throughput;
    struct qlink_sta_info_state sta_flags;
    struct qlink_sta_info_rate txrate;
    struct qlink_sta_info_rate rxrate;
    __le16 llid;
    __le16 plid;
    u8 local_pm;
    u8 peer_pm;
    u8 nonpeer_pm;
    u8 rx_beacon_signal_avg;
    u8 plink_state;
    u8 signal;
    u8 signal_avg;
    u8 rsvd[1];
};

look at all those little fields, they're literally a whole personality test for your wireless link 🦋

🫶 Description 🫶

so this struct carries statistics of a STA. that's the job. that's the assignment. and it ate 💅

but here's the important caveat you need to internalise: not all fields may be filled with valid values. which fields are real and which are just vibes needs to be signalled separately — valid fields should be indicated as such using a bitmap of enum qlink_sta_info. and where does that bitmap live? carried separately in a payload of QTN_TLV_ID_BITMAP. so don't go reading raw numbers and assuming they mean something, bestie, check the bitmap first 🙈

okay that's the whole page, bestie — sourced from ./drivers/net/wireless/quanten... (that's how it's written in the footer, not me being lazy, I promise 😭) and dated October 2026, closing out as struct qlink_sta_stats(9). go forth and read those STA stats responsibly 💅✨🌸
