## CONSTANTS

WIPHY\_FLAG\_NETNS\_OK

if not set, do not allow changing the netns of this wiphy at all

WIPHY\_FLAG\_PS\_ON\_BY\_DEFAULT

if set to true, powersave will be enabled by default -- this flag will be set depending on the kernel's default on **wiphy\_new**, but can be changed by the driver if it has a good reason to override the default

WIPHY\_FLAG\_4ADDR\_AP

supports 4addr mode even on AP (with a single station on a VLAN interface)

WIPHY\_FLAG\_4ADDR\_STATION

supports 4addr mode even as a station

WIPHY\_FLAG\_CONTROL\_PORT\_PROTOCOL

This device supports setting the control port protocol ethertype. The device also honours the control\_port\_no\_encrypt flag.

WIPHY\_FLAG\_IBSS\_RSN

The device supports IBSS RSN.

WIPHY\_FLAG\_MESH\_AUTH

The device supports mesh authentication by routing auth frames to userspace. See *NL80211\_MESH\_SETUP\_USERSPACE\_AUTH*.

WIPHY\_FLAG\_SUPPORTS\_SCHED\_SCAN

The device supports scheduled scans.

WIPHY\_FLAG\_SUPPORTS\_FW\_ROAM

The device supports roaming feature in the firmware.

WIPHY\_FLAG\_AP\_UAPSD

The device supports uapsd on AP.

WIPHY\_FLAG\_SUPPORTS\_TDLS

The device supports TDLS (802.11z) operation.

WIPHY\_FLAG\_TDLS\_EXTERNAL\_SETUP

The device does not handle TDLS (802.11z) link setup/discovery operations internally. Setup, discovery and teardown packets should be sent through the *NL80211\_CMD\_TDLS\_MGMT* command. When this flag is not set, *NL80211\_CMD\_TDLS\_OPER* should be used for asking the driver/firmware to perform a TDLS operation.

WIPHY\_FLAG\_HAVE\_AP\_SME

device integrates AP SME

WIPHY\_FLAG\_REPORTS\_OBSS

the device will report beacons from other BSSes when there are virtual interfaces in AP mode by calling **cfg80211\_report\_obss\_beacon**.

WIPHY\_FLAG\_AP\_PROBE\_RESP\_OFFLOAD

When operating as an AP, the device responds to probe-requests in hardware.

WIPHY\_FLAG\_OFFCHAN\_TX

Device supports direct off-channel TX.

WIPHY\_FLAG\_HAS\_REMAIN\_ON\_CHANNEL

Device supports remain-on-channel call.

WIPHY\_FLAG\_SUPPORTS\_5\_10\_MHZ

Device supports 5 MHz and 10 MHz channels.

WIPHY\_FLAG\_HAS\_CHANNEL\_SWITCH

Device supports channel switch in beaconing mode (AP, IBSS, Mesh, ...).
