STRUCT IEEE80211_VIF(9) The basic mac80211 driver inte STRUCT IEEE80211_VIF(9)

NAME

struct_ieee80211_vif - per-interface data

SYNOPSIS

struct ieee80211_vif {
  enum nl80211_iftype type;
  struct ieee80211_bss_conf bss_conf;
  u8 addr[ETH_ALEN];
  bool p2p;
  u8 drv_priv[0] __attribute__((__aligned__(sizeof(void  *))));
};

MEMBERS

type
type of this virtual interface
bss_conf
BSS configuration for this interface, either our own or the BSS we're associated to
addr[ETH_ALEN]
address of this interface
p2p
indicates whether this AP or STA interface is a p2p interface, i.e. a GO or p2p-sta respectively
drv_priv[0] __attribute__((__aligned__(sizeof(void *))))
data area for driver use, will always be aligned to sizeof(void *).

DESCRIPTION

Data in this structure is continually present for driver use during the life of a virtual interface.
