## CONSTANTS

IEEE80211\_IF\_TYPE\_INVALID

invalid interface type, not used by mac80211 itself

IEEE80211\_IF\_TYPE\_AP

interface in AP mode.

IEEE80211\_IF\_TYPE\_STA

interface in STA (client) mode.

IEEE80211\_IF\_TYPE\_IBSS

interface in IBSS (ad-hoc) mode.

IEEE80211\_IF\_TYPE\_MESH\_POINT

802\.11s mesh point

IEEE80211\_IF\_TYPE\_MNTR

interface in monitor (rfmon) mode.

IEEE80211\_IF\_TYPE\_WDS

interface in WDS mode.

IEEE80211\_IF\_TYPE\_VLAN
