Members
channel
The channel to use or NULL if not specified (auto-select based on scan results)
channel_hint
The channel of the recommended BSS for initial connection or NULL if not specified
bssid
The AP BSSID or NULL if not specified (auto-select based on scan results)
bssid_hint
The recommended AP BSSID for initial connection to the BSS or NULL if not specified. Unlike the bssid parameter, the driver is allowed to ignore this bssid_hint if it has knowledge of a better BSS to use.
ssid
SSID
ssid_len
Length of ssid in octets
auth_type
Authentication type (algorithm)
ie
IEs for association request
ie_len
Length of assoc_ie in octets
privacy
indicates whether privacy-enabled APs should be used
mfp
indicate whether management frame protection is used
crypto
crypto settings
key
WEP key for shared key authentication
key_len
length of WEP key for shared key authentication
key_idx
index of WEP key for shared key authentication
flags
See enum cfg80211_assoc_req_flags
bg_scan_period
Background scan period in seconds or -1 to indicate that default value is to be used.
ht_capa
HT Capabilities over-rides. Values set in ht_capa_mask will be used in ht_capa. Un-supported values will be ignored.
ht_capa_mask
The bits of ht_capa which are to be used.
vht_capa
VHT Capability overrides
vht_capa_mask
The bits of vht_capa which are to be used.
