MEMBERS
perm_addr[ETH_ALEN]
permanent MAC address of this device
addr_mask[ETH_ALEN]
If the device supports multiple MAC addresses by masking, set this to a mask with
variable bits set to 1, e.g. if the last four bits are variable then set it to
00-00-00-00-00-0f. The actual variable bits shall be determined by the interfaces
added, with interfaces not matching the mask being rejected to be brought up.
addresses
If the device has more than one address, set this pointer to a list of addresses (6
bytes each). The first one will be used by default for perm_addr. In this case, the
mask should be set to all-zeroes. In this case it is assumed that the device can
handle the same number of arbitrary MAC addresses.
mgmt_stypes
bitmasks of frame subtypes that can be subscribed to or transmitted through nl80211,
points to an array indexed by interface type
iface_combinations
Valid interface combinations array, should not list single interface types.
n_iface_combinations
number of entries in iface_combinations array.
software_iftypes
bitmask of software interface types, these are not subject to any restrictions since
they are purely managed in SW.
n_addresses
number of addresses in addresses.
interface_modes
bitmask of interfaces types valid for this wiphy, must be set by driver
max_acl_mac_addrs
Maximum number of MAC addresses that the device supports for ACL.
flags
wiphy flags, see enum wiphy_flags
regulatory_flags
wiphy regulatory flags, see enum ieee80211_regulatory_flags
features
features advertised to nl80211, see enum nl80211_feature_flags.
ext_features[DIV_ROUND_UP(NUM_NL80211_EXT_FEATURES# 8)]
extended features advertised to nl80211, see enum nl80211_ext_feature_index.
ap_sme_capa
AP SME capabilities, flags from enum nl80211_ap_sme_features.
signal_type
signal type reported in struct cfg80211_bss.
bss_priv_size
each BSS struct has private data allocated with it, this variable determines its size
max_scan_ssids
maximum number of SSIDs the device can scan for in any given scan
max_sched_scan_ssids
maximum number of SSIDs the device can scan for in any given scheduled scan
max_match_sets
maximum number of match sets the device can handle when performing a scheduled scan, 0
if filtering is not supported.
max_scan_ie_len
maximum length of user-controlled IEs device can add to probe request frames
transmitted during a scan, must not include fixed IEs like supported rates
max_sched_scan_ie_len
same as max_scan_ie_len, but for scheduled scans
max_sched_scan_plans
maximum number of scan plans (scan interval and number of iterations) for scheduled
scan supported by the device.
max_sched_scan_plan_interval
maximum interval (in seconds) for a single scan plan supported by the device.
max_sched_scan_plan_iterations
maximum number of iterations for a single scan plan supported by the device.
n_cipher_suites
number of supported cipher suites
cipher_suites
supported cipher suites
retry_short
Retry limit for short frames (dot11ShortRetryLimit)
retry_long
Retry limit for long frames (dot11LongRetryLimit)
frag_threshold
Fragmentation threshold (dot11FragmentationThreshold); -1 = fragmentation disabled,
only odd values >= 256 used
rts_threshold
RTS threshold (dot11RTSThreshold); -1 = RTS/CTS disabled
coverage_class
current coverage class
fw_version[ETHTOOL_FWVERS_LEN]
firmware version for ethtool reporting
hw_version
hardware version for ethtool reporting
wowlan
WoWLAN support information
wowlan_config
current WoWLAN configuration; this should usually not be used since access to it is
necessarily racy, use the parameter passed to the suspend operation instead.
max_remain_on_channel_duration
Maximum time a remain-on-channel operation may request, if implemented.
max_num_pmkids
maximum number of PMKIDs supported by device
available_antennas_tx
bitmap of antennas which are available to be configured as TX antennas. Antenna
configuration commands will be rejected unless this or available_antennas_rx is set.
available_antennas_rx
bitmap of antennas which are available to be configured as RX antennas. Antenna
configuration commands will be rejected unless this or available_antennas_tx is set.
probe_resp_offload
Bitmap of supported protocols for probe response offloading. See enum
nl80211_probe_resp_offload_support_attr. Only valid when the wiphy flag
WIPHY_FLAG_AP_PROBE_RESP_OFFLOAD is set.
extended_capabilities
extended capabilities supported by the driver, additional capabilities might be
supported by userspace; these are the 802.11 extended capabilities (“Extended
Capabilities element”) and are in the same format as in the information element. See
802.11-2012 8.4.2.29 for the defined fields. These are the default extended
capabilities to be used if the capabilities are not specified for a specific interface
type in iftype_ext_capab.
extended_capabilities_mask
mask of the valid values
extended_capabilities_len
length of the extended capabilities
iftype_ext_capab
array of extended capabilities per interface type
num_iftype_ext_capab
number of interface types for which extended capabilities are specified separately.
privid
a pointer that drivers can use to identify if an arbitrary wiphy is theirs, e.g. in
global notifiers
bands[NUM_NL80211_BANDS]
information about bands/channels supported by this device
reg_notifier
the driver's regulatory notification callback, note that if your driver uses
wiphy_apply_custom_regulatory the reg_notifier's request can be passed as NULL
regd
the driver's regulatory domain, if one was requested via the regulatory_hint API. This
can be used by the driver on the reg_notifier if it chooses to ignore future
regulatory domain changes caused by other drivers.
dev
(virtual) struct device for this wiphy
registered
helps synchronize suspend/resume with wiphy unregister
debugfsdir
debugfs directory used for this wiphy, will be renamed automatically on wiphy renames
ht_capa_mod_mask
Specify what ht_cap values can be over-ridden. If null, then none can be over-ridden.
vht_capa_mod_mask
Specify what VHT capabilities can be over-ridden. If null, then none can be
over-ridden.
wdev_list
the list of associated (virtual) interfaces; this list must not be modified by the
driver, but can be read with RTNL/RCU protection.
_net
the network namespace this wiphy currently lives in
wext
wireless extension handlers
coalesce
packet coalescing support information
vendor_commands
array of vendor commands supported by the hardware
vendor_events
array of vendor events supported by the hardware
n_vendor_commands
number of vendor commands
n_vendor_events
number of vendor events
max_ap_assoc_sta
maximum number of associated stations supported in AP mode (including P2P GO) or 0 to
indicate no such limit is advertised. The driver is allowed to advertise a theoretical
limit that it can reach in some cases, but may not always reach.
max_num_csa_counters
Number of supported csa_counters in beacons and probe responses. This value should be
set if the driver wishes to limit the number of csa counters. Default (0) means
infinite.
max_adj_channel_rssi_comp
max offset of between the channel on which the frame was sent and the channel on which
the frame was heard for which the reported rssi is still valid. If a driver is able to
compensate the low rssi when a frame is heard on different channel, then it should set
this variable to the maximal offset for which it can compensate. This value should be
set in MHz.
bss_select_support
bitmask indicating the BSS selection criteria supported by the driver in the .connect
callback. The bit position maps to the attribute indices defined in enum
nl80211_bss_select_attr.
priv[0]
driver private data (sized according to wiphy_new parameter)
