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;

};

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.
