MEMBERS
flags
configuration flags defined above
power_level
requested transmit power (in dBm), backward compatibility value
only that is set to the minimum of all interfaces
dynamic_ps_timeout
The dynamic powersave timeout (in ms), see the powersave
documentation below. This variable is valid only when the CONF_PS
flag is set.
max_sleep_period
the maximum number of beacon intervals to sleep for before checking
the beacon for a TIM bit (managed mode only); this value will be
only achievable between DTIM frames, the hardware needs to check
for the multicast traffic bit in DTIM beacons. This variable is
valid only when the CONF_PS flag is set.
listen_interval
listen interval in units of beacon interval
ps_dtim_period
The DTIM period of the AP we´re connected to, for use in power
saving. Power saving will not be enabled until a beacon has been
received and the DTIM period is known.
long_frame_max_tx_count
Maximum number of transmissions for a “long” frame (a frame not RTS
protected), called “dot11LongRetryLimit” in 802.11, but actually
means the number of transmissions not the number of retries
short_frame_max_tx_count
Maximum number of transmissions for a “short” frame, called
“dot11ShortRetryLimit” in 802.11, but actually means the number of
transmissions not the number of retries
chandef
the channel definition to tune to
radar_enabled
whether radar detection is enabled
smps_mode
spatial multiplexing powersave mode; note that
IEEE80211_SMPS_STATIC is used when the device is not configured for
an HT channel. Note that this is only valid if channel contexts are
not used, otherwise each channel context has the number of chains
listed.
DESCRIPTION
This struct indicates how the driver shall configure the hardware.
