# wimax\_report\_rfkill\_sw(9)

Reports changes in the software RF switch

## NAME

wimax\_report\_rfkill\_sw - Reports changes in the software RF switch

## SYNOPSIS

**void wimax\_report\_rfkill\_sw(struct wimax\_dev \*** *wimax\_dev***, enum wimax\_rf\_state** *state***);**

## ARGUMENTS

*wimax\_dev*

WiMAX device descriptor

*state*

New state of the RF kill switch. **WIMAX\_RF\_ON** radio on, **WIMAX\_RF\_OFF** radio off.

## DESCRIPTION

Reports changes in the software RF switch state to the WiMAX stack.

The main use is during initialization, so the driver can query the device for its current software radio kill switch state and feed it to the system.

On the side, the device does not change the software state by itself. In practice, this can happen, as the device might decide to switch (in software) the radio off for different reasons.
