MEMBERS

channel
The channel to use or NULL if not specified (auto-select based on scan results)
channel_hint
The channel of the recommended BSS for initial connection or NULL if not specified
bssid
The AP BSSID or NULL if not specified (auto-select based on scan results)
bssid_hint
The recommended AP BSSID for initial connection to the BSS or NULL if not specified. Unlike the bssid parameter, the driver is allowed to ignore this bssid_hint if it has knowledge of a better BSS to use.
ssid
SSID
ssid_len
Length of ssid in octets
auth_type
Authentication type (algorithm)
ie
IEs for association request
ie_len
Length of assoc_ie in octets
privacy
indicates whether privacy-enabled APs should be used
mfp
indicate whether management frame protection is used
crypto
crypto settings
key
WEP key for shared key authentication
key_len
length of WEP key for shared key authentication
key_idx
index of WEP key for shared key authentication
flags
See enum cfg80211_assoc_req_flags
bg_scan_period
Background scan period in seconds or -1 to indicate that default value is to be used.
ht_capa
HT Capabilities over-rides. Values set in ht_capa_mask will be used in ht_capa. Un-supported values will be ignored.
ht_capa_mask
The bits of ht_capa which are to be used.
vht_capa
VHT Capability overrides
vht_capa_mask
The bits of vht_capa which are to be used.
pbss
if set, connect to a PCP instead of AP. Valid for DMG networks.
bss_select
criteria to be used for BSS selection.
prev_bssid
previous BSSID, if not NULL use reassociate frame. This is used to indicate a request to reassociate within the ESS instead of a request do the initial association with the ESS. When included, this is set to the BSSID of the current association, i.e., to the value that is included in the Current AP address field of the Reassociation Request frame.

DESCRIPTION

This structure provides information needed to complete IEEE 802.11 authentication and association.
