};

MEMBERS

ssid
The SSID, will always be non-null.
bssid
Fixed BSSID requested, maybe be NULL, if set do not search for IBSSs with a different BSSID.
chandef
defines the channel to use if no other IBSS to join can be found
ie
information element(s) to include in the beacon
ssid_len
The length of the SSID, will always be non-zero.
ie_len
length of that
beacon_interval
beacon interval to use
basic_rates
bitmap of basic rates to use when creating the IBSS
channel_fixed
The channel should be fixed -- do not search for IBSSs to join on other channels.
privacy
this is a protected network, keys will be configured after joining
control_port
whether user space controls IEEE 802.1X port, i.e., sets/clears NL80211_STA_FLAG_AUTHORIZED. If true, the driver is required to assume that the port is unauthorized until authorized by user space. Otherwise, port is marked authorized by default.
userspace_handles_dfs
whether user space controls DFS operation, i.e. changes the channel when a radar is detected. This is required to operate on DFS channels.
mcast_rate[NUM_NL80211_BANDS]
per-band multicast rate index + 1 (0: disabled)
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.

DESCRIPTION

This structure defines the IBSS parameters for the join_ibss method.
