}; The hardware the algorithm is invoked for.
The band this frame is being transmitted on.
the current BSS configuration
the skb that will be transmitted, the control information in it needs to be filled in
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.
whether RTS will be used for this frame because it is longer than the RTS threshold
whether mac80211 will request short-preamble transmission if the selected rate supports it
user-requested maximum rate (not MCS for now) (deprecated; this will be removed once drivers get updated to use rate_idx_mask)
user-requested rate mask (not MCS for now)
whether this frame is sent out in AP or IBSS mode
