channel this BSS is on

width of the control channel

ies
.RS 4
the information elements (Note that there is no guarantee that these are well\-formed!); this is a pointer to either the beacon_ies or proberesp_ies depending on whether Probe Response frame has been received\&. It is always non\-\fBNULL\fR\&.
.RE
.PP
beacon_ies
.RS 4
the information elements from the last Beacon frame (implementation note: if
\fIhidden_beacon_bss\fR
is set this struct doesn\*(Aqt own the beacon_ies, but they\*(Aqre just pointers to the ones from the
\fIhidden_beacon_bss\fR
struct)
.RE
.PP
proberesp_ies
.RS 4
the information elements from the last Probe Response frame
.RE
.PP
hidden_beacon_bss
.RS 4
in case this BSS struct represents a probe response from a BSS that hides the SSID in its beacon, this points to the BSS struct that holds the beacon data\&.
\fIbeacon_ies\fR
is still valid, of course, and points to the same data as hidden_beacon_bss\->beacon_ies in that case\&.
.RE
.PP
signal
.RS 4
signal strength value (type depends on the wiphy\*(Aqs signal_type)
.RE
.PP
beacon_interval
.RS 4
the beacon interval as from the frame
.RE
.PP
capability
.RS 4
the capability field in host byte order
.RE
.PP
bssid[ETH_ALEN]
.RS 4
BSSID of the BSS
.RE
.PP
priv[0]
.RS 4
private area for driver use, has at least wiphy\->bss_priv_size bytes

.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
.PP
This structure describes a BSS (which may also be a mesh network) for use in scan results and similar\&.
