STRUCT STATION_PARAMETERS(9)

📦 version 7.3.1, in nixpkgs unstable

🎀 NAME 🎀

struct station_parameters — station parameters. that's it, that's the name, bestie. this page lives in the Kernel API Manual and it's all about struct station_parameters(9) 🫶

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

okay so here's the struct, copied exactly because we do not play with code in this group chat:

struct station_parameters {
    struct net_device *vlan;
    u32 sta_flags_mask, sta_flags_set;
    u32 sta_modify_mask;
    int listen_interval;
    u16 aid;
    u16 vlan_id;
    u16 peer_aid;
    u8 plink_action;
    u8 plink_state;
    u8 uapsd_queues;
    u8 max_sp;
    enum nl80211_mesh_power_mode local_pm;
    u16 capability;
    const u8 *ext_capab;
    u8 ext_capab_len;
    const u8 *supported_channels;
    u8 supported_channels_len;
    const u8 *supported_oper_classes;
    u8 supported_oper_classes_len;
    int support_p2p_ps;
    u16 airtime_weight;
    bool eml_cap_present;
    u16 eml_cap;
    struct link_station_parameters link_sta_params;
    bool epp_peer;
    const u8 *nmi_mac;
};

💖 Members 💖

one bullet per member, no skipping, periodt. 💅

  • vlan — the vlan interface the station should belong to 💜
  • sta_flags_mask — which station flags changed, as a bitmask of BIT(NL80211_STA_FLAG_...) ✨
  • sta_flags_set — the station flags values, as a bitmask of BIT(NL80211_STA_FLAG_...) ⭐
  • sta_modify_mask — bitmap indicating which parameters changed (for those that don't have a natural "no change" value), see enum station_parameters_apply_mask 🎀
  • listen_interval — the listen interval, or -1 for no change. noted, bestie 🫶
  • aid — the AID, or zero for no change 🌸
  • vlan_id — VLAN ID for the station (if nonzero) 💖
  • peer_aid — mesh peer AID, or zero for no change 🌈
  • plink_action — the plink action to take 🦋
  • plink_state — set the peer link state for a station ✨
  • uapsd_queues — bitmap of queues configured for uapsd. same format as the AC bitmap in the QoS info field 💅
  • max_sp — max Service Period. same format as the MAX_SP in the QoS info field (but already shifted down) 🔥
  • local_pm — local link-specific mesh power save mode (no change when set to unknown) 👑
  • capability — station capability 💜
  • ext_capab — extended capabilities of the station ✨
  • ext_capab_len — number of extended capabilities 🎀
  • supported_channels — supported channels in IEEE 802.11 format 🌸
  • supported_channels_len — number of supported channels 🦋
  • supported_oper_classes — supported oper classes in IEEE 802.11 format 🌈
  • supported_oper_classes_len — number of supported operating classes ⭐
  • support_p2p_ps — information if station supports P2P PS mechanism 💖
  • airtime_weight — airtime scheduler weight for this station 👑
  • eml_cap_present — Specifies if EML capabilities field (eml_cap) is present/updated ✨
  • eml_cap — EML capabilities of this station 💅
  • link_sta_params — link related params. simple as that 🫶
  • epp_peer — EPP peer indication 🌸
  • nmi_mac — MAC address of the NMI station of the NAN peer 🦋

🌈 Description 🌈

This struct is used to change a station and create a new one. literally its whole purpose, bestie — change a station, create a new station, slay. 💖

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

okay bestie, this is the part where the page name-drops literally everyone in the cfg80211 cinematic universe 💅 and yes, every single one of these is a real page you can go read. no skips, no cap, we're listing the whole guest list 🫶

that's the whole extended universe bestie, go forth and cross-reference 💖✨

...and the list literally does not stop, bestie 😭 ok here's the rest of the crew:

ok the NAN girlies are entering the chat, make some room 💅

BSS colouring section, we love a coordinated palette 🎨✨

and the NAN queue continues, she's booked and busy fr fr 🫶

and that's a wrap, bestie 🎀 this whole glow-up lives in ./include/net and it's dated October 2026 — go read struct station_parameters(9) and slay your wireless driver era 👑💜
