CONSTANTS

WIPHY_FLAG_NETNS_OK
if not set, do not allow changing the netns of this wiphy at all
WIPHY_FLAG_PS_ON_BY_DEFAULT
if set to true, powersave will be enabled by default -- this flag will be set depending on the kernel's default on wiphy_new, but can be changed by the driver if it has a good reason to override the default
WIPHY_FLAG_4ADDR_AP
supports 4addr mode even on AP (with a single station on a VLAN interface)
WIPHY_FLAG_4ADDR_STATION
supports 4addr mode even as a station
WIPHY_FLAG_CONTROL_PORT_PROTOCOL
This device supports setting the control port protocol ethertype. The device also honours the control_port_no_encrypt flag.
WIPHY_FLAG_IBSS_RSN
The device supports IBSS RSN.
WIPHY_FLAG_MESH_AUTH
The device supports mesh authentication by routing auth frames to userspace. See NL80211_MESH_SETUP_USERSPACE_AUTH.
WIPHY_FLAG_SUPPORTS_SCHED_SCAN
The device supports scheduled scans.
WIPHY_FLAG_SUPPORTS_FW_ROAM
The device supports roaming feature in the firmware.
WIPHY_FLAG_AP_UAPSD
The device supports uapsd on AP.
WIPHY_FLAG_SUPPORTS_TDLS
The device supports TDLS (802.11z) operation.
WIPHY_FLAG_TDLS_EXTERNAL_SETUP
The device does not handle TDLS (802.11z) link setup/discovery operations internally. Setup, discovery and teardown packets should be sent through the NL80211_CMD_TDLS_MGMT command. When this flag is not set, NL80211_CMD_TDLS_OPER should be used for asking the driver/firmware to perform a TDLS operation.
WIPHY_FLAG_HAVE_AP_SME
device integrates AP SME
WIPHY_FLAG_REPORTS_OBSS
the device will report beacons from other BSSes when there are virtual interfaces in AP mode by calling cfg80211_report_obss_beacon.
WIPHY_FLAG_AP_PROBE_RESP_OFFLOAD
When operating as an AP, the device responds to probe-requests in hardware.
WIPHY_FLAG_OFFCHAN_TX
Device supports direct off-channel TX.
WIPHY_FLAG_HAS_REMAIN_ON_CHANNEL
Device supports remain-on-channel call.
WIPHY_FLAG_SUPPORTS_5_10_MHZ
Device supports 5 MHz and 10 MHz channels.
WIPHY_FLAG_HAS_CHANNEL_SWITCH
Device supports channel switch in beaconing mode (AP, IBSS, Mesh, ...).
