Members

bss

The BSS to authenticate with.

ie

Extra IEs to add to Authentication frame or NULL

ie_len

Length of ie buffer in octets

auth_type

Authentication type (algorithm)

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

local_state_change

This is a request for a local state only, i.e., no Authentication frame is to be transmitted and authentication state is to be changed without having to wait for a response from the peer STA (AP).

This structure provides information needed to complete IEEE 802.11 authentication.
