struct_ieee80211_if_conf(9)

Usage

struct ieee80211_if_conf {
  int type;
  u8 * bssid;
  u8 * ssid;
  size_t ssid_len;
  struct sk_buff * beacon;
  struct ieee80211_tx_control * beacon_control;
};

Members

type

type of the interface. This is always the same as was specified in struct ieee80211_if_init_conf. The type of an interface never changes during the life of the interface; this field is present only for convenience.

bssid

BSSID of the network we are associated to/creating.

ssid

used (together with ssid_len) by drivers for hardware that generate beacons independently. The pointer is valid only during the config_interface call, so copy the value somewhere if you need it.

ssid_len

length of the ssid field.

beacon

beacon template. Valid only if host_gen_beacon_template in struct ieee80211_hw is set. The driver is responsible of freeing the sk_buff.

beacon_control

tx_control for the beacon template, this field is only valid when the beacon field was set.

Overview

This structure is passed to the config_interface callback of struct ieee80211_hw.
