# cfg80211\_ibss\_joined(9)

notify cfg80211 that device joined an IBSS

## NAME

cfg80211\_ibss\_joined - notify cfg80211 that device joined an IBSS

## SYNOPSIS

**void cfg80211\_ibss\_joined(struct net\_device \*** *dev***, const u8 \*** *bssid***, struct ieee80211\_channel \*** *channel***, gfp\_t** *gfp***);**

## ARGUMENTS

*dev*

network device

*bssid*

the BSSID of the IBSS joined

*channel*

the channel of the IBSS joined

*gfp*

allocation flags

## DESCRIPTION

This function notifies cfg80211 that the device joined an IBSS or switched to a different BSSID. Before this function can be called, either a beacon has to have been received from the IBSS, or one of the cfg80211\_inform\_bss{,\_frame} functions must have been called with the locally generated beacon -- this guarantees that there is always a scan result for this IBSS. cfg80211 will handle the rest.
