NAME
       struct_ieee80211_conf - configuration of the device

SYNOPSIS
       struct ieee80211_conf {
         u32 flags;
         int power_level;
         int dynamic_ps_timeout;
         u16 listen_interval;
         u8 ps_dtim_period;
         u8 long_frame_max_tx_count;
         u8 short_frame_max_tx_count;
         struct cfg80211_chan_def chandef;
         bool radar_enabled;
         enum ieee80211_smps_mode smps_mode;
       };

MEMBERS
       flags
           configuration flags defined above

       power_level
           requested transmit power (in dBm), backward compatibility value only that is set to
           the minimum of all interfaces

       dynamic_ps_timeout
           The dynamic powersave timeout (in ms), see the powersave documentation below. This
           variable is valid only when the CONF_PS flag is set.

       listen_interval
           listen interval in units of beacon interval

       ps_dtim_period
           The DTIM period of the AP we're connected to, for use in power saving. Power saving
           will not be enabled until a beacon has been received and the DTIM period is known.

       long_frame_max_tx_count
           Maximum number of transmissions for a “long” frame (a frame not RTS protected), called
           “dot11LongRetryLimit” in 802.11, but actually means the number of transmissions not
           the number of retries

       short_frame_max_tx_count
           Maximum number of transmissions for a “short” frame, called “dot11ShortRetryLimit” in
           802.11, but actually means the number of transmissions not the number of retries

       chandef
           the channel definition to tune to

       radar_enabled
           whether radar detection is enabled

       smps_mode
           spatial multiplexing powersave mode; note that IEEE80211_SMPS_STATIC is used when the
           device is not configured for an HT channel. Note that this is only valid if channel
           contexts are not used, otherwise each channel context has the number of chains listed.

DESCRIPTION
       This struct indicates how the driver shall configure the hardware.
