.SH "MEMBERS"
.PP
hw
.RS 4
The hardware the algorithm is invoked for\&.
.RE
.PP
sband
.RS 4
The band this frame is being transmitted on\&.
.RE
.PP
bss_conf
.RS 4
the current BSS configuration
.RE
.PP
skb
.RS 4
the skb that will be transmitted, the control information in it needs to be filled in
.RE
.PP
reported_rate
.RS 4
The rate control algorithm can fill this in to indicate which rate should be reported to userspace as the current rate and used for rate calculations in the mesh network\&.
.RE
.PP
rts
.RS 4
whether RTS will be used for this frame because it is longer than the RTS threshold
.RE
.PP
short_preamble
.RS 4
whether mac80211 will request short\-preamble transmission if the selected rate supports it
.RE
.PP
max_rate_idx
.RS 4
user\-requested maximum (legacy) rate (deprecated; this will be removed once drivers get updated to use rate_idx_mask)
.RE
.PP
rate_idx_mask
.RS 4
user\-requested (legacy) rate mask
.RE
.PP
rate_idx_mcs_mask
.RS 4
user\-requested MCS rate mask (NULL if not in use)
.RE
.PP
bss
.RS 4
whether this frame is sent out in AP or IBSS mode
