# struct\_ieee80211\_rate(9)

bitrate definition

## NAME

struct\_ieee80211\_rate - bitrate definition

## SYNOPSIS

```
struct ieee80211_rate {
  u32 flags;
  u16 bitrate;
  u16 hw_value;
  u16 hw_value_short;
};
```

## MEMBERS

flags

rate-specific flags

bitrate

bitrate in units of 100 Kbps

hw\_value

driver/hardware value for this rate

hw\_value\_short

driver/hardware value for this rate when short preamble is used

## DESCRIPTION

This structure describes a bitrate that an 802.11 PHY can operate with. The two values *hw\_value* and *hw\_value\_short* are only for driver use when pointers to this structure are passed around.
