wil6210_disconnect(9)

💅 wil6210_disconnect(9) — kernel API manual, but make it make sense

okay so bestie, you've found yourself in the Kernel API Manual, and the function we're stanning today is wil6210_disconnect. let's get into it 💖

---

✨ NAME ✨

wil6210_disconnect — disconnect one connection 🫶

like, one (1) single connection. not all of them. we're being specific here.

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void wil6210_disconnect (struct wil6210_vif *vif , const u8 *bssid , u16
reason_code );

it's giving "void return, so don't expect a little report card back" ✨

---

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• vif — the virtual interface context 🦋 this is your main character struct, the whole vibe of the interface lives in here
• bssid — the peer you wanna disconnect from. and listen, if you pass NULL here? that's the "disconnect ALL of them" option. every last one. 💀
• reason_code — the reason code that goes in the Disassociation frame 📨 so the other side knows why they're getting ghosted, iykyk

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so what does it actually do? it disconnects and releases the associated resources. clean up, pack your bags, goodbye 👋

it issues WMI command(s) to trigger the MAC disconnect. yes, command(s) — plural possible, that's literally what the manpage says, don't come for me 🙈

and here's the important bit, bestie, listen up: when the command was issued successfully, you call the wil6210_disconnect_complete function to handle the event synchronously. that's the flow. that's the whole assignment. don't skip the second part or the event's just gonna be sitting there unhandled 😭

---

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

• Kernel file ./drivers/net/wireless/ath/wil6210/main.c — go read the source, it ate, no cap 👑
• wil6210_disconnect_complete(9) — the sequel. the part two. the "okay now actually handle the event" one 🌈

---

fr fr, remember the order: wil6210_disconnect fires the WMI command(s), and on success you follow up with wil6210_disconnect_complete for that synchronous event handling. that's the combo, that's the synergy 💜

---

and that's a wrap on this little tour, babe 🎀 this page is from the ./drivers/net/wireless/ath/wil... source, dated October 2026, and it's wil6210_disconnect(9) all the way through. slay, go disconnect something responsibly 💖✨
