27 * DOC: Introduction
29 * mac80211 is the Linux stack for 802.11 hardware that implements
30 * only partial functionality in hard- or firmware. This document
31 * defines the interface between mac80211 and low-level hardware
32 * drivers.
35 /**
36 * DOC: Calling mac80211 from interrupts
38 * Only ieee80211_tx_status_irqsafe() and ieee80211_rx_irqsafe() can be
39 * called in hardware interrupt context. The low-level driver must not call any
40 * other functions in hardware interrupt context. If there is a need for such
41 * call, the low-level driver should first ACK the interrupt and perform the
42 * IEEE 802.11 code call after this, e.g. from a scheduled workqueue or even
43 * tasklet function.
45 * NOTE: If the driver opts to use the _irqsafe() functions, it may not also
46 * use the non-IRQ-safe functions!
49 /**
50 * DOC: Warning
52 * If you're reading this document and not the header file itself, it will
53 * be incomplete because not all documentation has been converted yet.
56 /**
57 * DOC: Frame format
59 * As a general rule, when frames are passed between mac80211 and the driver,
60 * they start with the IEEE 802.11 header and include the same octets that are
61 * sent over the air except for the FCS which should be calculated by the
62 * hardware.
64 * There are, however, various exceptions to this rule for advanced features:
66 * The first exception is for hardware encryption and decryption offload
67 * where the IV/ICV may or may not be generated in hardware.
69 * Secondly, when the hardware handles fragmentation, the frame handed to
70 * the driver from mac80211 is the MSDU, not the MPDU.
73 /**
74 * DOC: mac80211 workqueue
76 * mac80211 provides its own workqueue for drivers and internal mac80211 use.
77 * The workqueue is a single threaded workqueue and can only be accessed by
78 * helpers for sanity checking. Drivers must ensure all work added onto the
79 * mac80211 workqueue should be cancelled on the driver stop() callback.
81 * mac80211 will flushed the workqueue upon interface removal and during
82 * suspend.
84 * All work performed on the mac80211 workqueue must not acquire the RTNL lock.
88 /**
89 * DOC: mac80211 software tx queueing
91 * mac80211 provides an optional intermediate queueing implementation designed
92 * to allow the driver to keep hardware queues short and provide some fairness
93 * between different stations/interfaces.
94 * In this model, the driver pulls data frames from the mac80211 queue instead
95 * of letting mac80211 push them via drv_tx().
96 * Other frames (e.g. control or management) are still pushed using drv_tx().
98 * Drivers indicate that they use this model by implementing the .wake_tx_queue
99 * driver operation.
101 * Intermediate queues (struct ieee80211_txq) are kept per-sta per-tid, with
102 * another per-sta for non-data/non-mgmt and bufferable management frames, and
103 * a single per-vif queue for multicast data frames.
105 * The driver is expected to initialize its private per-queue data for stations
106 * and interfaces in the .add_interface and .sta_add ops.
108 * The driver can't access the queue directly. To dequeue a frame from a
109 * txq, it calls ieee80211_tx_dequeue(). Whenever mac80211 adds a new frame to a
110 * queue, it calls the .wake_tx_queue driver op.
112 * Drivers can optionally delegate responsibility for scheduling queues to
113 * mac80211, to take advantage of airtime fairness accounting. In this case, to
114 * obtain the next queue to pull frames from, the driver calls
115 * ieee80211_next_txq(). The driver is then expected to return the txq using
116 * ieee80211_return_txq().
118 * For AP powersave TIM handling, the driver only needs to indicate if it has
119 * buffered packets in the driver specific data structures by calling
120 * ieee80211_sta_set_buffered(). For frames buffered in the ieee80211_txq
121 * struct, mac80211 sets the appropriate TIM PVB bits and calls
122 * .release_buffered_frames().
123 * In that callback the driver is therefore expected to release its own
124 * buffered frames and afterwards also frames from the ieee80211_txq (obtained
125 * via the usual ieee80211_tx_dequeue).

534 * IMPORTANT: These three sync_* parameters would possibly be out of sync
535 * by the time the driver will use them. The synchronized view is currently
536 * guaranteed only in certain callbacks.
537 * @beacon_int: beacon interval
538 * @assoc_capability: capabilities taken from assoc resp
539 * @basic_rates: bitmap of basic rates, each bit stands for an
540 * index into the rate table configured by the driver in
541 * the current band.
542 * @beacon_rate: associated AP's beacon TX rate
543 * @mcast_rate: per-band multicast rate index + 1 (0: disabled)
544 * @bssid: The BSSID for this BSS
545 * @enable_beacon: whether beaconing should be enabled or not
546 * @chandef: Channel definition for this BSS -- the hardware might be
547 * configured a higher bandwidth than this BSS uses, for example.
548 * @mu_group: VHT MU-MIMO group membership data
549 * @ht_operation_mode: HT operation mode like in &struct ieee80211_ht_operation.
550 * This field is only valid when the channel is a wide HT/VHT channel.
551 * Note that with TDLS this can be the case (channel is HT, protection must
552 * be used from this field) even when the BSS association isn't using HT.
553 * @cqm_rssi_thold: Connection quality monitor RSSI threshold, a zero value
554 * implies disabled. As with the cfg80211 callback, a change here should
555 * cause an event to be sent indicating where the current value is in
556 * relation to the newly configured threshold.
557 * @cqm_rssi_low: Connection quality monitor RSSI lower threshold, a zero value
558 * implies disabled. This is an alternative mechanism to the single
559 * threshold event and can't be enabled simultaneously with it.
560 * @cqm_rssi_high: Connection quality monitor RSSI upper threshold.
561 * @cqm_rssi_hyst: Connection quality monitor RSSI hysteresis
562 * @arp_addr_list: List of IPv4 addresses for hardware ARP filtering. The
563 * may filter ARP queries targeted for other addresses than listed here.
564 * The driver must allow ARP queries targeted for all address listed here
565 * to pass through. An empty list implies no ARP queries need to pass.
566 * @arp_addr_cnt: Number of addresses currently on the list. Note that this
567 * may be larger than %IEEE80211_BSS_ARP_ADDR_LIST_LEN (the arp_addr_list
568 * array size), it's up to the driver what to do in that case.
569 * @qos: This is a QoS-enabled BSS.
570 * @idle: This interface is idle. There's also a global idle flag in the
571 * hardware config which may be more appropriate depending on what
572 * your driver/device needs to do.
573 * @ps: power-save mode (STA only). This flag is NOT affected by
574 * offchannel/dynamic_ps operations.
575 * @ssid: The SSID of the current vif. Valid in AP and IBSS mode.
576 * @ssid_len: Length of SSID given in @ssid.
577 * @hidden_ssid: The SSID of the current vif is hidden. Only valid in AP-mode.
578 * @txpower: TX power in dBm. INT_MIN means not configured.
579 * @txpower_type: TX power adjustment used to control per packet Transmit
580 * Power Control (TPC) in lower driver for the current vif. In particular
581 * TPC is enabled if value passed in %txpower_type is
582 * NL80211_TX_POWER_LIMITED (allow using less than specified from
583 * userspace), whereas TPC is disabled if %txpower_type is set to
584 * NL80211_TX_POWER_FIXED (use value configured from userspace)
585 * @p2p_noa_attr: P2P NoA attribute for P2P powersave
586 * @allow_p2p_go_ps: indication for AP or P2P GO interface, whether it's allowed
587 * to use P2P PS mechanism or not. AP/P2P GO is not allowed to use P2P PS
588 * if it has associated clients without P2P PS support.
589 * @max_idle_period: the time period during which the station can refrain from
590 * transmitting frames to its associated AP without being disassociated.
591 * In units of 1000 TUs. Zero value indicates that the AP did not include
592 * a (valid) BSS Max Idle Period Element.
593 * @protected_keep_alive: if set, indicates that the station should send an RSN
594 * protected frame to the AP to reset the idle timer at the AP for the
595 * station.
596 * @ftm_responder: whether to enable or disable fine timing measurement FTM
597 * responder functionality.
598 * @ftmr_params: configurable lci/civic parameter when enabling FTM responder.
599 * @nontransmitted: this BSS is a nontransmitted BSS profile
600 * @transmitter_bssid: the address of transmitter AP
601 * @bssid_index: index inside the multiple BSSID set
602 * @bssid_indicator: 2^bssid_indicator is the maximum number of APs in set
603 * @ema_ap: AP supports enhancements of discovery and advertisement of
604 * nontransmitted BSSIDs
605 * @profile_periodicity: the least number of beacon frames need to be received
606 * in order to discover all the nontransmitted BSSIDs in the set.

682 * These flags are used with the @flags member of &ieee80211_tx_info.
684 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_REQ_TX_STATUS: require TX status callback for this frame.
685 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_ASSIGN_SEQ: The driver has to assign a sequence
686 * number to this frame, taking care of not overwriting the fragment
687 * number and increasing the sequence number only when the
688 * IEEE80211_TX_CTL_FIRST_FRAGMENT flag is set. mac80211 will properly
689 * assign sequence numbers to QoS-data frames but cannot do so correctly
690 * for non-QoS-data and management frames because beacons need them from
691 * that counter as well and mac80211 cannot guarantee proper sequencing.
692 * If this flag is set, the driver should instruct the hardware to
693 * assign a sequence number to the frame or assign one itself. Cf. IEEE
694 * 802.11-2007 7.1.3.4.1 paragraph 3. This flag will always be set for
695 * beacons and always be clear for frames without a sequence number field.
696 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_ACK: tell the low level not to wait for an ack
697 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_CLEAR_PS_FILT: clear powersave filter for destination
698 * station
699 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_FIRST_FRAGMENT: this is a first fragment of the frame
700 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_SEND_AFTER_DTIM: send this frame after DTIM beacon
701 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_AMPDU: this frame should be sent as part of an A-MPDU
702 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_INJECTED: Frame was injected, internal to mac80211.
703 * @IEEE80211_TX_STAT_TX_FILTERED: The frame was not transmitted
704 * because the destination STA was in powersave mode. Note that to
705 * avoid race conditions, the filter must be set by the hardware or
706 * firmware upon receiving a frame that indicates that the station
707 * went to sleep (must be done on device to filter frames already on
708 * the queue) and may only be unset after mac80211 gives the OK for
709 * that by setting the IEEE80211_TX_CTL_CLEAR_PS_FILT (see above),
710 * since only then is it guaranteed that no more frames are in the
711 * hardware queue.
712 * @IEEE80211_TX_STAT_ACK: Frame was acknowledged
713 * @IEEE80211_TX_STAT_AMPDU: The frame was aggregated, so status
714 * is for the whole aggregation.
715 * @IEEE80211_TX_STAT_AMPDU_NO_BACK: no block ack was returned,
716 * so consider using block ack request (BAR).
717 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_RATE_CTRL_PROBE: internal to mac80211, can be
718 * set by rate control algorithms to indicate probe rate, will
719 * be cleared for fragmented frames (except on the last fragment)
720 * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_OFFCHAN_TX_OK: Internal to mac80211. Used to indicate
721 * that a frame can be transmitted while the queues are stopped for
722 * off-channel operation.
723 * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_NEED_TXPROCESSING: completely internal to mac80211,
724 * used to indicate that a pending frame requires TX processing before
725 * it can be sent out.
726 * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_RETRIED: completely internal to mac80211,
727 * used to indicate that a frame was already retried due to PS
728 * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_DONT_ENCRYPT: completely internal to mac80211,
729 * used to indicate frame should not be encrypted
730 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_PS_BUFFER: This frame is a response to a poll
731 * frame (PS-Poll or uAPSD) or a non-bufferable MMPDU and must
732 * be sent although the station is in powersave mode.
733 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_MORE_FRAMES: More frames will be passed to the
734 * transmit function after the current frame, this can be used
735 * by drivers to kick the DMA queue only if unset or when the
736 * queue gets full.
737 * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_RETRANSMISSION: This frame is being retransmitted
738 * after TX status because the destination was asleep, it must not
739 * be modified again (no seqno assignment, crypto, etc.)
740 * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_MLME_CONN_TX: This frame was transmitted by the MLME
741 * code for connection establishment, this indicates that its status
742 * should kick the MLME state machine.
743 * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_NL80211_FRAME_TX: Frame was requested through nl80211
744 * MLME command (internal to mac80211 to figure out whether to send TX
745 * status to user space)
746 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_LDPC: tells the driver to use LDPC for this frame
747 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_STBC: Enables Space-Time Block Coding (STBC) for this
748 * frame and selects the maximum number of streams that it can use.
749 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_TX_OFFCHAN: Marks this packet to be transmitted on
750 * the off-channel channel when a remain-on-channel offload is done
751 * in hardware -- normal packets still flow and are expected to be
752 * handled properly by the device.
753 * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_TKIP_MIC_FAILURE: Marks this packet to be used for TKIP
754 * testing. It will be sent out with incorrect Michael MIC key to allow
755 * TKIP countermeasures to be tested.
756 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_CCK_RATE: This frame will be sent at non CCK rate.
757 * This flag is actually used for management frame especially for P2P
758 * frames not being sent at CCK rate in 2GHz band.
759 * @IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP: This packet marks the end of service period,
760 * when its status is reported the service period ends. For frames in
761 * an SP that mac80211 transmits, it is already set; for driver frames
762 * the driver may set this flag. It is also used to do the same for
763 * PS-Poll responses.
764 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_USE_MINRATE: This frame will be sent at lowest rate.
765 * This flag is used to send nullfunc frame at minimum rate when
766 * the nullfunc is used for connection monitoring purpose.
767 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_DONTFRAG: Don't fragment this packet even if it
768 * would be fragmented by size (this is optional, only used for
769 * monitor injection).
770 * @IEEE80211_TX_STAT_NOACK_TRANSMITTED: A frame that was marked with
771 * IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_ACK has been successfully transmitted without
772 * any errors (like issues specific to the driver/HW).
773 * This flag must not be set for frames that don't request no-ack
774 * behaviour with IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_ACK.
776 * Note: If you have to add new flags to the enumeration, then don't
777 * forget to update %IEEE80211_TX_TEMPORARY_FLAGS when necessary.

931 * times at rate 1 if it doesn't get acknowledged. Say it gets

933 * information should then contain::
935 * { 3, 2 }, { 2, 2 }, { 1, 1 }, { -1, 0 } ...
937 * since it was transmitted twice at rate 3, twice at rate 2
938 * and once at rate 1 after which we received an acknowledgement.

1174 * Use together with %RX_FLAG_MMIC_STRIPPED.
1175 * @RX_FLAG_DECRYPTED: This frame was decrypted in hardware.
1176 * @RX_FLAG_MMIC_STRIPPED: the Michael MIC is stripped off this frame,
1177 * verification has been done by the hardware.
1178 * @RX_FLAG_IV_STRIPPED: The IV and ICV are stripped from this frame.
1179 * If this flag is set, the stack cannot do any replay detection
1180 * hence the driver or hardware will have to do that.
1181 * @RX_FLAG_PN_VALIDATED: Currently only valid for CCMP/GCMP frames, this
1182 * flag indicates that the PN was verified for replay protection.
1183 * Note that this flag is also currently only supported when a frame
1184 * is also decrypted (ie. @RX_FLAG_DECRYPTED must be set)
1185 * @RX_FLAG_DUP_VALIDATED: The driver should set this flag if it did
1186 * de-duplication by itself.
1187 * @RX_FLAG_FAILED_FCS_CRC: Set this flag if the FCS check failed on
1188 * the frame.
1189 * @RX_FLAG_FAILED_PLCP_CRC: Set this flag if the PCLP check failed on
1190 * the frame.
1191 * @RX_FLAG_MACTIME_START: The timestamp passed in the RX status (@mactime
1192 * field) is valid and contains the time the first symbol of the MPDU
1193 * was received. This is useful in monitor mode and for proper IBSS
1194 * merging.
1195 * @RX_FLAG_MACTIME_END: The timestamp passed in the RX status (@mactime
1196 * field) is valid and contains the time the last symbol of the MPDU
1197 * (including FCS) was received.
1198 * @RX_FLAG_MACTIME_PLCP_START: The timestamp passed in the RX status (@mactime
1199 * field) is valid and contains the time the SYNC preamble was received.
1200 * @RX_FLAG_NO_SIGNAL_VAL: The signal strength value is not present.
1201 * Valid only for data frames (mainly A-MPDU)
1202 * @RX_FLAG_AMPDU_DETAILS: A-MPDU details are known, in particular the reference
1203 * number (@ampdu_reference) must be populated and be a distinct number for
1204 * each A-MPDU
1205 * @RX_FLAG_AMPDU_LAST_KNOWN: last subframe is known, should be set on all
1206 * subframes of a single A-MPDU
1207 * @RX_FLAG_AMPDU_IS_LAST: this subframe is the last subframe of the A-MPDU
1208 * @RX_FLAG_AMPDU_DELIM_CRC_ERROR: A delimiter CRC error has been detected
1209 * on this subframe
1210 * @RX_FLAG_AMPDU_DELIM_CRC_KNOWN: The delimiter CRC field is known (the CRC
1211 * is stored in the @ampdu_delimiter_crc field)
1212 * @RX_FLAG_MIC_STRIPPED: The mic was stripped of this packet. Decryption was
1213 * done by the hardware
1214 * @RX_FLAG_ONLY_MONITOR: Report frame only to monitor interfaces without
1215 * processing it in any regular way.
1216 * This is useful if drivers offload some frames but still want to report
1217 * them for sniffing purposes.
1218 * @RX_FLAG_SKIP_MONITOR: Process and report frame to all interfaces except
1219 * monitor interfaces.
1220 * This is useful if drivers offload some frames but still want to report
1221 * them for sniffing purposes.
1222 * @RX_FLAG_AMSDU_MORE: Some drivers may prefer to report separate A-MSDU
1223 * subframes instead of a one huge frame for performance reasons.
1224 * All, but the last MSDU from an A-MSDU should have this flag set. E.g.
1225 * if an A-MSDU has 3 frames, the first 2 must have the flag set, while
1226 * the 3rd (last) one must not have this flag set. The flag is used to
1227 * deal with retransmission/duplication recovery properly since A-MSDU
1228 * subframes share the same sequence number. Reported subframes can be
1229 * either regular MSDU or singly A-MSDUs. Subframes must not be
1230 * interleaved with other frames.
1231 * @RX_FLAG_RADIOTAP_VENDOR_DATA: This frame contains vendor-specific
1232 * radiotap data in the skb->data (before the frame) as described by
1233 * the &struct ieee80211_vendor_radiotap.
1234 * @RX_FLAG_ALLOW_SAME_PN: Allow the same PN as same packet before.
1235 * This is used for AMSDU subframes which can have the same PN as
1236 * the first subframe.
1237 * @RX_FLAG_ICV_STRIPPED: The ICV is stripped from this frame. CRC checking must
1238 * be done in the hardware.
1239 * @RX_FLAG_AMPDU_EOF_BIT: Value of the EOF bit in the A-MPDU delimiter for this
1240 * frame
1241 * @RX_FLAG_AMPDU_EOF_BIT_KNOWN: The EOF value is known
1242 * @RX_FLAG_RADIOTAP_HE: HE radiotap data is present

2113 * any particular flags. There are some exceptions to this rule,
2114 * however, so you are advised to review these flags carefully.
2116 * @IEEE80211_HW_HAS_RATE_CONTROL:
2117 * The hardware or firmware includes rate control, and cannot be
2118 * controlled by the stack. As such, no rate control algorithm
2119 * should be instantiated, and the TX rate reported to userspace
2120 * will be taken from the TX status instead of the rate control
2121 * algorithm.
2122 * Note that this requires that the driver implement a number of

2129 * @IEEE80211_HW_RX_INCLUDES_FCS:

2131 * the FCS at the end.
2133 * @IEEE80211_HW_HOST_BROADCAST_PS_BUFFERING:
2134 * Some wireless LAN chipsets buffer broadcast/multicast frames
2135 * for power saving stations in the hardware/firmware and others
2136 * rely on the host system for such buffering. This option is used
2137 * to configure the IEEE 802.11 upper layer to buffer broadcast and
2138 * multicast frames when there are power saving stations so that
2139 * the driver can fetch them with ieee80211_get_buffered_bc().
2141 * @IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_UNSPEC:
2142 * Hardware can provide signal values but we don't know its units. We

2144 * If possible please provide dB or dBm instead.
2146 * @IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_DBM:
2147 * Hardware gives signal values in dBm, decibel difference from
2148 * one milliwatt. This is the preferred method since it is standardized
2149 * between different devices. @max_signal does not need to be set.
2151 * @IEEE80211_HW_SPECTRUM_MGMT:
2152 * Hardware supports spectrum management defined in 802.11h
2153 * Measurement, Channel Switch, Quieting, TPC
2155 * @IEEE80211_HW_AMPDU_AGGREGATION:
2156 * Hardware supports 11n A-MPDU aggregation.

2159 * Hardware has power save support (i.e. can go to sleep).

2172 * Hardware can provide ack status reports of Tx frames to
2173 * the stack.
2175 * @IEEE80211_HW_CONNECTION_MONITOR:
2176 * The hardware performs its own connection monitoring, including
2177 * periodic keep-alives to the AP and probing the AP on beacon loss.
2179 * @IEEE80211_HW_NEED_DTIM_BEFORE_ASSOC:
2180 * This device needs to get data from beacon before association (i.e.
2181 * dtim_period).
2183 * @IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_PER_STA_GTK: The device's crypto engine supports
2184 * per-station GTKs as used by IBSS RSN or during fast transition. If

2186 * to decrypt group addressed frames, then IBSS RSN support is still
2187 * possible but software crypto will be used. Advertise the wiphy flag
2188 * only in that case.
2190 * @IEEE80211_HW_AP_LINK_PS: When operating in AP mode the device
2191 * autonomously manages the PS status of connected stations. When
2192 * this flag is set mac80211 will not trigger PS mode for connected
2193 * stations based on the PM bit of incoming frames.
2194 * Use ieee80211_start_ps()/ieee8021_end_ps() to manually configure
2195 * the PS mode of connected stations.
2197 * @IEEE80211_HW_TX_AMPDU_SETUP_IN_HW: The device handles TX A-MPDU session
2198 * setup strictly in HW. mac80211 should not attempt to do this in
2199 * software.
2201 * @IEEE80211_HW_WANT_MONITOR_VIF: The driver would like to be informed of
2202 * a virtual monitor interface when monitor interfaces are the only
2203 * active interfaces.
2205 * @IEEE80211_HW_NO_AUTO_VIF: The driver would like for no wlanX to
2206 * be created. It is expected user-space will create vifs as
2207 * desired (and thus have them named as desired).
2209 * @IEEE80211_HW_SW_CRYPTO_CONTROL: The driver wants to control which of the
2210 * crypto algorithms can be done in software - so don't automatically
2211 * try to fall back to it if hardware crypto fails, but do so only if
2212 * the driver returns 1. This also forces the driver to advertise its
2213 * supported cipher suites.
2215 * @IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORT_FAST_XMIT: The driver/hardware supports fast-xmit,
2216 * this currently requires only the ability to calculate the duration
2217 * for frames.
2219 * @IEEE80211_HW_QUEUE_CONTROL: The driver wants to control per-interface
2220 * queue mapping in order to use different queues (not just one per AC)
2221 * for different virtual interfaces. See the doc section on HW queue
2222 * control for more details.
2224 * @IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_RC_TABLE: The driver supports using a rate
2225 * selection table provided by the rate control algorithm.
2227 * @IEEE80211_HW_P2P_DEV_ADDR_FOR_INTF: Use the P2P Device address for any
2228 * P2P Interface. This will be honoured even if more than one interface
2229 * is supported.
2231 * @IEEE80211_HW_TIMING_BEACON_ONLY: Use sync timing from beacon frames
2232 * only, to allow getting TBTT of a DTIM beacon.
2234 * @IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_HT_CCK_RATES: Hardware supports mixing HT/CCK rates
2235 * and can cope with CCK rates in an aggregation session (e.g. by not
2236 * using aggregation for such frames.)
2238 * @IEEE80211_HW_CHANCTX_STA_CSA: Support 802.11h based channel-switch (CSA)
2239 * for a single active channel while using channel contexts. When support
2240 * is not enabled the default action is to disconnect when getting the
2241 * CSA frame.
2243 * @IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_CLONED_SKBS: The driver will never modify the payload
2244 * or tailroom of TX skbs without copying them first.
2246 * @IEEE80211_HW_SINGLE_SCAN_ON_ALL_BANDS: The HW supports scanning on all bands
2247 * in one command, mac80211 doesn't have to run separate scans per band.
2249 * @IEEE80211_HW_TDLS_WIDER_BW: The device/driver supports wider bandwidth
2250 * than then BSS bandwidth for a TDLS link on the base channel.
2252 * @IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_AMSDU_IN_AMPDU: The driver supports receiving A-MSDUs
2253 * within A-MPDU.
2255 * @IEEE80211_HW_BEACON_TX_STATUS: The device/driver provides TX status
2256 * for sent beacons.
2258 * @IEEE80211_HW_NEEDS_UNIQUE_STA_ADDR: Hardware (or driver) requires that each
2259 * station has a unique address, i.e. each station entry can be identified
2260 * by just its MAC address; this prevents, for example, the same station
2261 * from connecting to two virtual AP interfaces at the same time.
2263 * @IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_REORDERING_BUFFER: Hardware (or driver) manages the
2264 * reordering buffer internally, guaranteeing mac80211 receives frames in
2265 * order and does not need to manage its own reorder buffer or BA session
2266 * timeout.
2268 * @IEEE80211_HW_USES_RSS: The device uses RSS and thus requires parallel RX,
2269 * which implies using per-CPU station statistics.
2271 * @IEEE80211_HW_TX_AMSDU: Hardware (or driver) supports software aggregated
2272 * A-MSDU frames. Requires software tx queueing and fast-xmit support.
2273 * When not using minstrel/minstrel_ht rate control, the driver must
2274 * limit the maximum A-MSDU size based on the current tx rate by setting
2275 * max_rc_amsdu_len in struct ieee80211_sta.
2277 * @IEEE80211_HW_TX_FRAG_LIST: Hardware (or driver) supports sending frag_list
2278 * skbs, needed for zero-copy software A-MSDU.
2280 * @IEEE80211_HW_REPORTS_LOW_ACK: The driver (or firmware) reports low ack event
2281 * by ieee80211_report_low_ack() based on its own algorithm. For such
2282 * drivers, mac80211 packet loss mechanism will not be triggered and driver
2283 * is completely depending on firmware event for station kickout.
2285 * @IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_TX_FRAG: Hardware does fragmentation by itself.
2286 * The stack will not do fragmentation.
2287 * The callback for @set_frag_threshold should be set as well.
2289 * @IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_TDLS_BUFFER_STA: Hardware supports buffer STA on
2290 * TDLS links.
2292 * @IEEE80211_HW_DEAUTH_NEED_MGD_TX_PREP: The driver requires the
2293 * mgd_prepare_tx() callback to be called before transmission of a
2294 * deauthentication frame in case the association was completed but no
2295 * beacon was heard. This is required in multi-channel scenarios, where the
2296 * virtual interface might not be given air time for the transmission of
2297 * the frame, as it is not synced with the AP/P2P GO yet, and thus the
2298 * deauthentication frame might not be transmitted.
2300 * @IEEE80211_HW_DOESNT_SUPPORT_QOS_NDP: The driver (or firmware) doesn't
2301 * support QoS NDP for AP probing - that's most likely a driver bug.
2303 * @IEEE80211_HW_BUFF_MMPDU_TXQ: use the TXQ for bufferable MMPDUs, this of
2304 * course requires the driver to use TXQs to start with.
2306 * @IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_VHT_EXT_NSS_BW: (Hardware) rate control supports VHT
2307 * extended NSS BW (dot11VHTExtendedNSSBWCapable). This flag will be set if
2308 * the selected rate control algorithm sets %RATE_CTRL_CAPA_VHT_EXT_NSS_BW
2309 * but if the rate control is built-in then it must be set by the driver.
2310 * See also the documentation for that flag.
2312 * @IEEE80211_HW_STA_MMPDU_TXQ: use the extra non-TID per-station TXQ for all
2313 * MMPDUs on station interfaces. This of course requires the driver to use
2314 * TXQs to start with.
2316 * @IEEE80211_HW_TX_STATUS_NO_AMPDU_LEN: Driver does not report accurate A-MPDU
2317 * length in tx status information
2319 * @IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_MULTI_BSSID: Hardware supports multi BSSID
2321 * @IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_ONLY_HE_MULTI_BSSID: Hardware supports multi BSSID
2322 * only for HE APs. Applies if @IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_MULTI_BSSID is set.
2324 * @IEEE80211_HW_AMPDU_KEYBORDER_SUPPORT: The card and driver is only
2325 * aggregating MPDUs with the same keyid, allowing mac80211 to keep Tx
2326 * A-MPDU sessions active while rekeying with Extended Key ID.

2386 * struct ieee80211_hw - hardware information and state
2388 * This structure contains the configuration and hardware
2389 * information for an 802.11 PHY.
2391 * @wiphy: This points to the &struct wiphy allocated for this
2392 * 802.11 PHY. You must fill in the @perm_addr and @dev
2393 * members of this structure using SET_IEEE80211_DEV()

2676 * DOC: Hardware crypto acceleration
2678 * mac80211 is capable of taking advantage of many hardware
2679 * acceleration designs for encryption and decryption operations.
2681 * The set_key() callback in the &struct ieee80211_ops for a given
2682 * device is called to enable hardware acceleration of encryption and
2683 * decryption. The callback takes a @sta parameter that will be NULL
2684 * for default keys or keys used for transmission only, or point to
2685 * the station information for the peer for individual keys.
2686 * Multiple transmission keys with the same key index may be used when
2687 * VLANs are configured for an access point.
2689 * When transmitting, the TX control data will use the @hw_key_idx
2690 * selected by the driver by modifying the &struct ieee80211_key_conf
2691 * pointed to by the @key parameter to the set_key() function.
2693 * The set_key() call for the %SET_KEY command should return 0 if
2694 * the key is now in use, -%EOPNOTSUPP or -%ENOSPC if it couldn't be
2695 * added; if you return 0 then hw_key_idx must be assigned to the
2696 * hardware key index, you are free to use the full u8 range.
2698 * Note that in the case that the @IEEE80211_HW_SW_CRYPTO_CONTROL flag is
2699 * set, mac80211 will not automatically fall back to software crypto if
2700 * enabling hardware crypto failed. The set_key() call may also return the
2701 * value 1 to permit this specific key/algorithm to be done in software.
2703 * When the cmd is %DISABLE_KEY then it must succeed.
2705 * Note that it is permissible to not decrypt a frame even if a key
2706 * for it has been uploaded to hardware, the stack will not make any
2707 * decision based on whether a key has been uploaded or not but rather
2708 * based on the receive flags.
2710 * The &struct ieee80211_key_conf structure pointed to by the @key
2711 * parameter is guaranteed to be valid until another call to set_key()
2712 * removes it, but it can only be used as a cookie to differentiate
2713 * keys.
2715 * In TKIP some HW need to be provided a phase 1 key, for RX decryption
2716 * acceleration (i.e. iwlwifi). Those drivers should provide update_tkip_key
2717 * handler.
2718 * The update_tkip_key() call updates the driver with the new phase 1 key.
2719 * This happens every time the iv16 wraps around (every 65536 packets). The
2720 * set_key() call will happen only once for each key (unless the AP did
2721 * rekeying), it will not include a valid phase 1 key. The valid phase 1 key is
2722 * provided by update_tkip_key only. The trigger that makes mac80211 call this
2723 * handler is software decryption with wrap around of iv16.
2725 * The set_default_unicast_key() call updates the default WEP key index
2726 * configured to the hardware for WEP encryption type. This is required
2727 * for devices that support offload of data packets (e.g. ARP responses).
2729 * Mac80211 drivers should set the @NL80211_EXT_FEATURE_CAN_REPLACE_PTK0 flag
2730 * when they are able to replace in-use PTK keys according to to following
2731 * requirements:
2732 * 1) They do not hand over frames decrypted with the old key to
2733 mac80211 once the call to set_key() with command %DISABLE_KEY has been
2734 completed when also setting @IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_GENERATE_IV for any key,
2735 2) either drop or continue to use the old key for any outgoing frames queued
2736 at the time of the key deletion (including re-transmits),
2737 3) never send out a frame queued prior to the set_key() %SET_KEY command
2738 encrypted with the new key and
2739 4) never send out a frame unencrypted when it should be encrypted.
2740 Mac80211 will not queue any new frames for a deleted key to the driver.
2744 * DOC: Powersave support
2746 * mac80211 has support for various powersave implementations.
2748 * First, it can support hardware that handles all powersaving by itself,
2749 * such hardware should simply set the %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_PS hardware
2750 * flag. In that case, it will be told about the desired powersave mode
2751 * with the %IEEE80211_CONF_PS flag depending on the association status.
2752 * The hardware must take care of sending nullfunc frames when necessary,
2753 * i.e. when entering and leaving powersave mode. The hardware is required
2754 * to look at the AID in beacons and signal to the AP that it woke up when
2755 * it finds traffic directed to it.
2757 * %IEEE80211_CONF_PS flag enabled means that the powersave mode defined in
2758 * IEEE 802.11-2007 section 11.2 is enabled. This is not to be confused
2759 * with hardware wakeup and sleep states. Driver is responsible for waking
2760 * up the hardware before issuing commands to the hardware and putting it
2761 * back to sleep at appropriate times.
2763 * When PS is enabled, hardware needs to wakeup for beacons and receive the
2764 * buffered multicast/broadcast frames after the beacon. Also it must be
2765 * possible to send frames and receive the acknowledment frame.
2767 * Other hardware designs cannot send nullfunc frames by themselves and also
2768 * need software support for parsing the TIM bitmap. This is also supported
2769 * by mac80211 by combining the %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_PS and
2770 * %IEEE80211_HW_PS_NULLFUNC_STACK flags. The hardware is of course still
2771 * required to pass up beacons. The hardware is still required to handle
2772 * waking up for multicast traffic; if it cannot the driver must handle that
2773 * as best as it can, mac80211 is too slow to do that.
2775 * Dynamic powersave is an extension to normal powersave in which the
2776 * hardware stays awake for a user-specified period of time after sending a
2777 * frame so that reply frames need not be buffered and therefore delayed to
2778 * the next wakeup. It's compromise of getting good enough latency when
2779 * there's data traffic and still saving significantly power in idle
2780 * periods.
2782 * Dynamic powersave is simply supported by mac80211 enabling and disabling
2783 * PS based on traffic. Driver needs to only set %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_PS
2784 * flag and mac80211 will handle everything automatically. Additionally,
2785 * hardware having support for the dynamic PS feature may set the
2786 * %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_DYNAMIC_PS flag to indicate that it can support
2787 * dynamic PS mode itself. The driver needs to look at the
2788 * @dynamic_ps_timeout hardware configuration value and use it that value
2789 * whenever %IEEE80211_CONF_PS is set. In this case mac80211 will disable
2790 * dynamic PS feature in stack and will just keep %IEEE80211_CONF_PS
2791 * enabled whenever user has enabled powersave.
2793 * Driver informs U-APSD client support by enabling
2794 * %IEEE80211_VIF_SUPPORTS_UAPSD flag. The mode is configured through the
2795 * uapsd parameter in conf_tx() operation. Hardware needs to send the QoS
2796 * Nullfunc frames and stay awake until the service period has ended. To
2797 * utilize U-APSD, dynamic powersave is disabled for voip AC and all frames
2798 * from that AC are transmitted with powersave enabled.
2800 * Note: U-APSD client mode is not yet supported with
2801 * %IEEE80211_HW_PS_NULLFUNC_STACK.
2805 * DOC: Beacon filter support
2807 * Some hardware have beacon filter support to reduce host cpu wakeups
2808 * which will reduce system power consumption. It usually works so that
2809 * the firmware creates a checksum of the beacon but omits all constantly
2810 * changing elements (TSF, TIM etc). Whenever the checksum changes the
2811 * beacon is forwarded to the host, otherwise it will be just dropped. That
2812 * way the host will only receive beacons where some relevant information
2813 * (for example ERP protection or WMM settings) have changed.
2815 * Beacon filter support is advertised with the %IEEE80211_VIF_BEACON_FILTER
2816 * interface capability. The driver needs to enable beacon filter support
2817 * whenever power save is enabled, that is %IEEE80211_CONF_PS is set. When
2818 * power save is enabled, the stack will not check for beacon loss and the
2819 * driver needs to notify about loss of beacons with ieee80211_beacon_loss().
2821 * The time (or number of beacons missed) until the firmware notifies the
2822 * driver of a beacon loss event (which in turn causes the driver to call
2823 * ieee80211_beacon_loss()) should be configurable and will be controlled
2824 * by mac80211 and the roaming algorithm in the future.
2826 * Since there may be constantly changing information elements that nothing
2827 * in the software stack cares about, we will, in the future, have mac80211
2828 * tell the driver which information elements are interesting in the sense
2829 * that we want to see changes in them. This will include
2831 * - a list of information element IDs
2832 * - a list of OUIs for the vendor information element
2834 * Ideally, the hardware would filter out any beacons without changes in the
2835 * requested elements, but if it cannot support that it may, at the expense
2836 * of some efficiency, filter out only a subset. For example, if the device
2837 * doesn't support checking for OUIs it should pass up all changes in all
2838 * vendor information elements.
2840 * Note that change, for the sake of simplification, also includes information
2841 * elements appearing or disappearing from the beacon.
2843 * Some hardware supports an "ignore list" instead, just make sure nothing
2844 * that was requested is on the ignore list, and include commonly changing
2845 * information element IDs in the ignore list, for example 11 (BSS load) and
2846 * the various vendor-assigned IEs with unknown contents (128, 129, 133-136,
2847 * 149, 150, 155, 156, 173, 176, 178, 179, 219); for forward compatibility
2848 * it could also include some currently unused IDs.
2851 * In addition to these capabilities, hardware should support notifying the
2852 * host of changes in the beacon RSSI. This is relevant to implement roaming
2853 * when no traffic is flowing (when traffic is flowing we see the RSSI of
2854 * the received data packets). This can consist in notifying the host when
2855 * the RSSI changes significantly or when it drops below or rises above
2856 * configurable thresholds. In the future these thresholds will also be
2857 * configured by mac80211 (which gets them from userspace) to implement
2858 * them as the roaming algorithm requires.
2860 * If the hardware cannot implement this, the driver should ask it to
2861 * periodically pass beacon frames to the host so that software can do the
2862 * signal strength threshold checking.
2866 * DOC: Spatial multiplexing power save
2868 * SMPS (Spatial multiplexing power save) is a mechanism to conserve
2869 * power in an 802.11n implementation. For details on the mechanism
2870 * and rationale, please refer to 802.11 (as amended by 802.11n-2009)
2871 * "11.2.3 SM power save".
2873 * The mac80211 implementation is capable of sending action frames
2874 * to update the AP about the station's SMPS mode, and will instruct
2875 * the driver to enter the specific mode. It will also announce the
2876 * requested SMPS mode during the association handshake. Hardware
2877 * support for this feature is required, and can be indicated by
2878 * hardware flags.
2880 * The default mode will be "automatic", which nl80211/cfg80211
2881 * defines to be dynamic SMPS in (regular) powersave, and SMPS
2882 * turned off otherwise.
2884 * To support this feature, the driver must set the appropriate
2885 * hardware support flags, and handle the SMPS flag to the config()
2886 * operation. It will then with this mechanism be instructed to
2887 * enter the requested SMPS mode while associated to an HT AP.
2891 * DOC: Frame filtering
2893 * mac80211 requires to see many management frames for proper
2894 * operation, and users may want to see many more frames when
2895 * in monitor mode. However, for best CPU usage and power consumption,
2896 * having as few frames as possible percolate through the stack is
2897 * desirable. Hence, the hardware should filter as much as possible.
2899 * To achieve this, mac80211 uses filter flags (see below) to tell
2900 * the driver's configure_filter() function which frames should be
2901 * passed to mac80211 and which should be filtered out.
2903 * Before configure_filter() is invoked, the prepare_multicast()
2904 * callback is invoked with the parameters @mc_count and @mc_list
2905 * for the combined multicast address list of all virtual interfaces.
2906 * It's use is optional, and it returns a u64 that is passed to
2907 * configure_filter(). Additionally, configure_filter() has the
2908 * arguments @changed_flags telling which flags were changed and
2909 * @total_flags with the new flag states.
2911 * If your device has no multicast address filters your driver will
2912 * need to check both the %FIF_ALLMULTI flag and the @mc_count
2913 * parameter to see whether multicast frames should be accepted
2914 * or dropped.
2916 * All unsupported flags in @total_flags must be cleared.
2917 * Hardware does not support a flag if it is incapable of _passing_
2918 * the frame to the stack. Otherwise the driver must ignore
2919 * the flag, but not clear it.
2920 * You must _only_ clear the flag (announce no support for the
2921 * flag to mac80211) if you are not able to pass the packet type
2922 * to the stack (so the hardware always filters it).
2923 * So for example, you should clear @FIF_CONTROL, if your hardware
2924 * always filters control frames. If your hardware always passes
2925 * control frames to the kernel and is incapable of filtering them,
2926 * you do _not_ clear the @FIF_CONTROL flag.
2927 * This rule applies to all other FIF flags as well.
2931 * DOC: AP support for powersaving clients
2933 * In order to implement AP and P2P GO modes, mac80211 has support for
2934 * client powersaving, both "legacy" PS (PS-Poll/null data) and uAPSD.
2935 * There currently is no support for sAPSD.
2937 * There is one assumption that mac80211 makes, namely that a client
2938 * will not poll with PS-Poll and trigger with uAPSD at the same time.
2939 * Both are supported, and both can be used by the same client, but
2940 * they can't be used concurrently by the same client. This simplifies
2941 * the driver code.
2943 * The first thing to keep in mind is that there is a flag for complete
2944 * driver implementation: %IEEE80211_HW_AP_LINK_PS. If this flag is set,
2945 * mac80211 expects the driver to handle most of the state machine for
2946 * powersaving clients and will ignore the PM bit in incoming frames.
2947 * Drivers then use ieee80211_sta_ps_transition() to inform mac80211 of
2948 * stations' powersave transitions. In this mode, mac80211 also doesn't
2949 * handle PS-Poll/uAPSD.
2951 * In the mode without %IEEE80211_HW_AP_LINK_PS, mac80211 will check the
2952 * PM bit in incoming frames for client powersave transitions. When a
2953 * station goes to sleep, we will stop transmitting to it. There is,
2954 * however, a race condition: a station might go to sleep while there is
2955 * data buffered on hardware queues. If the device has support for this
2956 * it will reject frames, and the driver should give the frames back to
2957 * mac80211 with the %IEEE80211_TX_STAT_TX_FILTERED flag set which will
2958 * cause mac80211 to retry the frame when the station wakes up. The
2959 * driver is also notified of powersave transitions by calling its
2960 * @sta_notify callback.
2962 * When the station is asleep, it has three choices: it can wake up,
2963 * it can PS-Poll, or it can possibly start a uAPSD service period.
2964 * Waking up is implemented by simply transmitting all buffered (and
2965 * filtered) frames to the station. This is the easiest case. When
2966 * the station sends a PS-Poll or a uAPSD trigger frame, mac80211
2967 * will inform the driver of this with the @allow_buffered_frames
2968 * callback; this callback is optional. mac80211 will then transmit
2969 * the frames as usual and set the %IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_PS_BUFFER
2970 * on each frame. The last frame in the service period (or the only
2971 * response to a PS-Poll) also has %IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP set to
2972 * indicate that it ends the service period; as this frame must have
2973 * TX status report it also sets %IEEE80211_TX_CTL_REQ_TX_STATUS.
2974 * When TX status is reported for this frame, the service period is
2975 * marked has having ended and a new one can be started by the peer.
2977 * Additionally, non-bufferable MMPDUs can also be transmitted by
2978 * mac80211 with the %IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_PS_BUFFER set in them.
2980 * Another race condition can happen on some devices like iwlwifi
2981 * when there are frames queued for the station and it wakes up
2982 * or polls; the frames that are already queued could end up being
2983 * transmitted first instead, causing reordering and/or wrong
2984 * processing of the EOSP. The cause is that allowing frames to be
2985 * transmitted to a certain station is out-of-band communication to
2986 * the device. To allow this problem to be solved, the driver can
2987 * call ieee80211_sta_block_awake() if frames are buffered when it
2988 * is notified that the station went to sleep. When all these frames
2989 * have been filtered (see above), it must call the function again
2990 * to indicate that the station is no longer blocked.
2992 * If the driver buffers frames in the driver for aggregation in any
2993 * way, it must use the ieee80211_sta_set_buffered() call when it is
2994 * notified of the station going to sleep to inform mac80211 of any
2995 * TIDs that have frames buffered. Note that when a station wakes up
2996 * this information is reset (hence the requirement to call it when
2997 * informed of the station going to sleep). Then, when a service
2998 * period starts for any reason, @release_buffered_frames is called
2999 * with the number of frames to be released and which TIDs they are
3000 * to come from. In this case, the driver is responsible for setting
3001 * the EOSP (for uAPSD) and MORE_DATA bits in the released frames,
3002 * to help the @more_data parameter is passed to tell the driver if
3003 * there is more data on other TIDs -- the TIDs to release frames
3004 * from are ignored since mac80211 doesn't know how many frames the
3005 * buffers for those TIDs contain.
3007 * If the driver also implement GO mode, where absence periods may
3008 * shorten service periods (or abort PS-Poll responses), it must
3009 * filter those response frames except in the case of frames that
3010 * are buffered in the driver -- those must remain buffered to avoid
3011 * reordering. Because it is possible that no frames are released
3012 * in this case, the driver must call ieee80211_sta_eosp()
3013 * to indicate to mac80211 that the service period ended anyway.
3015 * Finally, if frames from multiple TIDs are released from mac80211
3016 * but the driver might reorder them, it must clear & set the flags
3017 * appropriately (only the last frame may have %IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP)
3018 * and also take care of the EOSP and MORE_DATA bits in the frame.
3019 * The driver may also use ieee80211_sta_eosp() in this case.
3021 * Note that if the driver ever buffers frames other than QoS-data
3022 * frames, it must take care to never send a non-QoS-data frame as
3023 * the last frame in a service period, adding a QoS-nulldata frame
3024 * after a non-QoS-data frame if needed.
3028 * DOC: HW queue control
3030 * Before HW queue control was introduced, mac80211 only had a single static
3031 * assignment of per-interface AC software queues to hardware queues. This
3032 * was problematic for a few reasons:
3033 * 1) off-channel transmissions might get stuck behind other frames
3034 * 2) multiple virtual interfaces couldn't be handled correctly
3035 * 3) after-DTIM frames could get stuck behind other frames
3037 * To solve this, hardware typically uses multiple different queues for all
3038 * the different usages, and this needs to be propagated into mac80211 so it
3039 * won't have the same problem with the software queues.
3041 * Therefore, mac80211 now offers the %IEEE80211_HW_QUEUE_CONTROL capability
3042 * flag that tells it that the driver implements its own queue control. To do
3043 * so, the driver will set up the various queues in each &struct ieee80211_vif
3044 * and the offchannel queue in &struct ieee80211_hw. In response, mac80211 will
3045 * use those queue IDs in the hw_queue field of &struct ieee80211_tx_info and
3046 * if necessary will queue the frame on the right software queue that mirrors
3047 * the hardware queue.
3048 * Additionally, the driver has to then use these HW queue IDs for the queue
3049 * management functions (ieee80211_stop_queue() et al.)
3051 * The driver is free to set up the queue mappings as needed, multiple virtual
3052 * interfaces may map to the same hardware queues if needed. The setup has to
3053 * happen during add_interface or change_interface callbacks. For example, a
3054 * driver supporting station+station and station+AP modes might decide to have
3055 * 10 hardware queues to handle different scenarios:
3057 * 4 AC HW queues for 1st vif: 0, 1, 2, 3
3058 * 4 AC HW queues for 2nd vif: 4, 5, 6, 7
3059 * after-DTIM queue for AP: 8
3060 * off-channel queue: 9
3062 * It would then set up the hardware like this:
3063 * hw.offchannel_tx_hw_queue = 9
3065 * and the first virtual interface that is added as follows:
3066 * vif.hw_queue[IEEE80211_AC_VO] = 0
3067 * vif.hw_queue[IEEE80211_AC_VI] = 1
3068 * vif.hw_queue[IEEE80211_AC_BE] = 2
3069 * vif.hw_queue[IEEE80211_AC_BK] = 3
3070 * vif.cab_queue = 8 // if AP mode, otherwise %IEEE80211_INVAL_HW_QUEUE
3071 * and the second virtual interface with 4-7.
3073 * If queue 6 gets full, for example, mac80211 would only stop the second
3074 * virtual interface's BE queue since virtual interface queues are per AC.
3076 * Note that the vif.cab_queue value should be set to %IEEE80211_INVAL_HW_QUEUE
3077 * whenever the queue is not used (i.e. the interface is not in AP mode) if the
3078 * queue could potentially be shared since mac80211 will look at cab_queue when
3079 * a queue is stopped/woken even if the interface is not in AP mode.
3083 * enum ieee80211_filter_flags - hardware filter flags
3085 * These flags determine what the filter in hardware should be

3088 * but this has negative impact on power consumption.

3091 * by the user or if the hardware is not capable of filtering by

3101 * to the hardware that it should not filter beacons or probe responses
3102 * by BSSID. Filtering them can greatly reduce the amount of processing
3103 * mac80211 needs to do and the amount of CPU wakeups, so you should
3104 * honour this flag if possible.

3302 * configured, otherwise the device is deconfigured completely and
3303 * reconfigured at resume time.
3304 * The driver may also impose special conditions under which it
3305 * wants to use the "normal" suspend (deconfigure), say if it only
3306 * supports WoWLAN when the device is associated. In this case, it
3307 * must return 1 from this function.
3309 * @resume: If WoWLAN was configured, this indicates that mac80211 is
3310 * now resuming its operation, after this the device must be fully
3311 * functional again. If this returns an error, the only way out is
3312 * to also unregister the device. If it returns 1, then mac80211
3313 * will also go through the regular complete restart on resume.
3315 * @set_wakeup: Enable or disable wakeup when WoWLAN configuration is
3316 * modified. The reason is that device_set_wakeup_enable() is
3317 * supposed to be called when the configuration changes, not only
3318 * in suspend().
3320 * @add_interface: Called when a netdevice attached to the hardware is
3321 * enabled. Because it is not called for monitor mode devices, @start
3322 * and @stop must be implemented.
3323 * The driver should perform any initialization it needs before
3324 * the device can be enabled. The initial configuration for the
3325 * interface is given in the conf parameter.
3326 * The callback may refuse to add an interface by returning a
3327 * negative error code (which will be seen in userspace.)
3328 * Must be implemented and can sleep.
3330 * @change_interface: Called when a netdevice changes type. This callback
3331 * is optional, but only if it is supported can interface types be
3332 * switched while the interface is UP. The callback may sleep.
3333 * Note that while an interface is being switched, it will not be
3334 * found by the interface iteration callbacks.
3336 * @remove_interface: Notifies a driver that an interface is going down.
3337 * The @stop callback is called after this if it is the last interface
3338 * and no monitor interfaces are present.
3339 * When all interfaces are removed, the MAC address in the hardware
3340 * must be cleared so the device no longer acknowledges packets,
3341 * the mac_addr member of the conf structure is, however, set to the
3342 * MAC address of the device going away.
3343 * Hence, this callback must be implemented. It can sleep.
3345 * @config: Handler for configuration requests. IEEE 802.11 code calls this
3346 * function to change hardware configuration, e.g., channel.
3347 * This function should never fail but returns a negative error code
3348 * if it does. The callback can sleep.
3350 * @bss_info_changed: Handler for configuration requests related to BSS
3351 * parameters that may vary during BSS's lifespan, and may affect low
3352 * level driver (e.g. assoc/disassoc status, erp parameters).
3353 * This function should not be used if no BSS has been set, unless
3354 * for association indication. The @changed parameter indicates which
3355 * of the bss parameters has changed when a call is made. The callback
3356 * can sleep.
3358 * @prepare_multicast: Prepare for multicast filter configuration.
3359 * This callback is optional, and its return value is passed
3360 * to configure_filter(). This callback must be atomic.
3362 * @configure_filter: Configure the device's RX filter.
3363 * See the section "Frame filtering" for more information.
3364 * This callback must be implemented and can sleep.
3366 * @config_iface_filter: Configure the interface's RX filter.
3367 * This callback is optional and is used to configure which frames
3368 * should be passed to mac80211. The filter_flags is the combination
3369 * of FIF_* flags. The changed_flags is a bit mask that indicates
3370 * which flags are changed.
3371 * This callback can sleep.
3373 * @set_tim: Set TIM bit. mac80211 calls this function when a TIM bit
3374 * must be set or cleared for a given STA. Must be atomic.
3376 * @set_key: See the section "Hardware crypto acceleration"
3377 * This callback is only called between add_interface and
3378 * remove_interface calls, i.e. while the given virtual interface
3379 * is enabled.
3380 * Returns a negative error code if the key can't be added.
3381 * The callback can sleep.
3383 * @update_tkip_key: See the section "Hardware crypto acceleration"
3384 * This callback will be called in the context of Rx. Called for drivers
3385 * which set IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_TKIP_REQ_RX_P1_KEY.
3386 * The callback must be atomic.
3388 * @set_rekey_data: If the device supports GTK rekeying, for example while the
3389 * host is suspended, it can assign this callback to retrieve the data
3390 * necessary to do GTK rekeying, this is the KEK, KCK and replay counter.
3391 * After rekeying was done it should (for example during resume) notify
3392 * userspace of the new replay counter using ieee80211_gtk_rekey_notify().
3394 * @set_default_unicast_key: Set the default (unicast) key index, useful for
3395 * WEP when the device sends data packets autonomously, e.g. for ARP
3396 * offloading. The index can be 0-3, or -1 for unsetting it.
3398 * @hw_scan: Ask the hardware to service the scan request, no need to start
3399 * the scan state machine in stack. The scan must honour the channel
3400 * configuration done by the regulatory agent in the wiphy's
3401 * registered bands. The hardware (or the driver) needs to make sure
3402 * that power save is disabled.
3403 * The @req ie/ie_len members are rewritten by mac80211 to contain the
3404 * entire IEs after the SSID, so that drivers need not look at these
3405 * at all but just send them after the SSID -- mac80211 includes the
3406 * (extended) supported rates and HT information (where applicable).
3407 * When the scan finishes, ieee80211_scan_completed() must be called;
3408 * note that it also must be called when the scan cannot finish due to
3409 * any error unless this callback returned a negative error code.
3410 * This callback is also allowed to return the special return value 1,
3411 * this indicates that hardware scan isn't desirable right now and a
3412 * software scan should be done instead. A driver wishing to use this
3413 * capability must ensure its (hardware) scan capabilities aren't
3414 * advertised as more capable than mac80211's software scan is.
3415 * The callback can sleep.
3417 * @cancel_hw_scan: Ask the low-level tp cancel the active hw scan.
3418 * The driver should ask the hardware to cancel the scan (if possible),
3419 * but the scan will be completed only after the driver will call
3420 * ieee80211_scan_completed().
3421 * This callback is needed for wowlan, to prevent enqueueing a new
3422 * scan_work after the low-level driver was already suspended.
3423 * The callback can sleep.
3425 * @sched_scan_start: Ask the hardware to start scanning repeatedly at
3426 * specific intervals. The driver must call the
3427 * ieee80211_sched_scan_results() function whenever it finds results.
3428 * This process will continue until sched_scan_stop is called.
3430 * @sched_scan_stop: Tell the hardware to stop an ongoing scheduled scan.
3431 * In this case, ieee80211_sched_scan_stopped() must not be called.
3433 * @sw_scan_start: Notifier function that is called just before a software scan
3434 * is started. Can be NULL, if the driver doesn't need this notification.
3435 * The mac_addr parameter allows supporting NL80211_SCAN_FLAG_RANDOM_ADDR,
3436 * the driver may set the NL80211_FEATURE_SCAN_RANDOM_MAC_ADDR flag if it
3437 * can use this parameter. The callback can sleep.
3439 * @sw_scan_complete: Notifier function that is called just after a
3440 * software scan finished. Can be NULL, if the driver doesn't need
3441 * this notification.
3442 * The callback can sleep.
3444 * @get_stats: Return low-level statistics.
3445 * Returns zero if statistics are available.
3446 * The callback can sleep.
3448 * @get_key_seq: If your device implements encryption in hardware and does
3449 * IV/PN assignment then this callback should be provided to read the
3450 * IV/PN for the given key from hardware.
3451 * The callback must be atomic.
3453 * @set_frag_threshold: Configuration of fragmentation threshold. Assign this
3454 * if the device does fragmentation by itself. Note that to prevent the
3455 * stack from doing fragmentation IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_TX_FRAG
3456 * should be set as well.
3457 * The callback can sleep.
3459 * @set_rts_threshold: Configuration of RTS threshold (if device needs it)
3460 * The callback can sleep.
3462 * @sta_add: Notifies low level driver about addition of an associated station,
3463 * AP, IBSS/WDS/mesh peer etc. This callback can sleep.
3465 * @sta_remove: Notifies low level driver about removal of an associated
3466 * station, AP, IBSS/WDS/mesh peer etc. Note that after the callback
3467 * returns it isn't safe to use the pointer, not even RCU protected;
3468 * no RCU grace period is guaranteed between returning here and freeing
3469 * the station. See @sta_pre_rcu_remove if needed.
3470 * This callback can sleep.
3472 * @sta_add_debugfs: Drivers can use this callback to add debugfs files
3473 * when a station is added to mac80211's station list. This callback
3474 * should be within a CONFIG_MAC80211_DEBUGFS conditional. This
3475 * callback can sleep.
3477 * @sta_notify: Notifies low level driver about power state transition of an
3478 * associated station, AP, IBSS/WDS/mesh peer etc. For a VIF operating
3479 * in AP mode, this callback will not be called when the flag
3480 * %IEEE80211_HW_AP_LINK_PS is set. Must be atomic.
3482 * @sta_set_txpwr: Configure the station tx power. This callback set the tx
3483 * power for the station.
3484 * This callback can sleep.
3486 * @sta_state: Notifies low level driver about state transition of a
3487 * station (which can be the AP, a client, IBSS/WDS/mesh peer etc.)
3488 * This callback is mutually exclusive with @sta_add/@sta_remove.
3489 * It must not fail for down transitions but may fail for transitions
3490 * up the list of states. Also note that after the callback returns it
3491 * isn't safe to use the pointer, not even RCU protected - no RCU grace
3492 * period is guaranteed between returning here and freeing the station.
3493 * See @sta_pre_rcu_remove if needed.
3494 * The callback can sleep.
3496 * @sta_pre_rcu_remove: Notify driver about station removal before RCU
3497 * synchronisation. This is useful if a driver needs to have station
3498 * pointers protected using RCU, it can then use this call to clear
3499 * the pointers instead of waiting for an RCU grace period to elapse
3500 * in @sta_state.
3501 * The callback can sleep.
3503 * @sta_rc_update: Notifies the driver of changes to the bitrates that can be
3504 * used to transmit to the station. The changes are advertised with bits
3505 * from &enum ieee80211_rate_control_changed and the values are reflected
3506 * in the station data. This callback should only be used when the driver
3507 * uses hardware rate control (%IEEE80211_HW_HAS_RATE_CONTROL) since
3508 * otherwise the rate control algorithm is notified directly.
3509 * Must be atomic.
3510 * @sta_rate_tbl_update: Notifies the driver that the rate table changed. This
3511 * is only used if the configured rate control algorithm actually uses
3512 * the new rate table API, and is therefore optional. Must be atomic.
3514 * @sta_statistics: Get statistics for this station. For example with beacon
3515 * filtering, the statistics kept by mac80211 might not be accurate, so
3516 * let the driver pre-fill the statistics. The driver can fill most of
3517 * the values (indicating which by setting the filled bitmap), but not
3518 * all of them make sense - see the source for which ones are possible.
3519 * Statistics that the driver doesn't fill will be filled by mac80211.
3520 * The callback can sleep.
3522 * @conf_tx: Configure TX queue parameters (EDCF (aifs, cw_min, cw_max),
3523 * bursting) for a hardware TX queue.
3524 * Returns a negative error code on failure.
3525 * The callback can sleep.
3527 * @get_tsf: Get the current TSF timer value from firmware/hardware. Currently,
3528 * this is only used for IBSS mode BSSID merging and debugging. Is not a
3529 * required function.
3530 * The callback can sleep.
3532 * @set_tsf: Set the TSF timer to the specified value in the firmware/hardware.
3533 * Currently, this is only used for IBSS mode debugging. Is not a
3534 * required function.
3535 * The callback can sleep.
3537 * @offset_tsf: Offset the TSF timer by the specified value in the
3538 * firmware/hardware. Preferred to set_tsf as it avoids delay between
3539 * calling set_tsf() and hardware getting programmed, which will show up
3540 * as TSF delay. Is not a required function.
3541 * The callback can sleep.
3543 * @reset_tsf: Reset the TSF timer and allow firmware/hardware to synchronize
3544 * with other STAs in the IBSS. This is only used in IBSS mode. This
3545 * function is optional if the firmware/hardware takes full care of
3546 * TSF synchronization.
3547 * The callback can sleep.
3549 * @tx_last_beacon: Determine whether the last IBSS beacon was sent by us.
3550 * This is needed only for IBSS mode and the result of this function is
3551 * used to determine whether to reply to Probe Requests.
3552 * Returns non-zero if this device sent the last beacon.
3553 * The callback can sleep.
3555 * @get_survey: Return per-channel survey information
3557 * @rfkill_poll: Poll rfkill hardware state. If you need this, you also
3558 * need to set wiphy->rfkill_poll to %true before registration,
3559 * and need to call wiphy_rfkill_set_hw_state() in the callback.
3560 * The callback can sleep.
3562 * @set_coverage_class: Set slot time for given coverage class as specified
3563 * in IEEE 802.11-2007 section 17.3.8.6 and modify ACK timeout
3564 * accordingly; coverage class equals to -1 to enable ACK timeout
3565 * estimation algorithm (dynack). To disable dynack set valid value for
3566 * coverage class. This callback is not required and may sleep.
3568 * @testmode_cmd: Implement a cfg80211 test mode command. The passed @vif may
3569 * be %NULL. The callback can sleep.
3570 * @testmode_dump: Implement a cfg80211 test mode dump. The callback can sleep.
3572 * @flush: Flush all pending frames from the hardware queue, making sure
3573 * that the hardware queues are empty. The @queues parameter is a bitmap
3574 * of queues to flush, which is useful if different virtual interfaces
3575 * use different hardware queues; it may also indicate all queues.
3576 * If the parameter @drop is set to %true, pending frames may be dropped.
3577 * Note that vif can be NULL.
3578 * The callback can sleep.
3580 * @channel_switch: Drivers that need (or want) to offload the channel
3581 * switch operation for CSAs received from the AP may implement this
3582 * callback. They must then call ieee80211_chswitch_done() to indicate
3583 * completion of the channel switch.
3585 * @set_antenna: Set antenna configuration (tx_ant, rx_ant) on the device.
3586 * Parameters are bitmaps of allowed antennas to use for TX/RX. Drivers may
3587 * reject TX/RX mask combinations they cannot support by returning -EINVAL
3588 * (also see nl80211.h @NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_ANTENNA_TX).
3590 * @get_antenna: Get current antenna configuration from device (tx_ant, rx_ant).
3592 * @remain_on_channel: Starts an off-channel period on the given channel, must
3593 * call back to ieee80211_ready_on_channel() when on that channel. Note
3594 * that normal channel traffic is not stopped as this is intended for hw
3595 * offload. Frames to transmit on the off-channel channel are transmitted
3596 * normally except for the %IEEE80211_TX_CTL_TX_OFFCHAN flag. When the
3597 * duration (which will always be non-zero) expires, the driver must call
3598 * ieee80211_remain_on_channel_expired().
3599 * Note that this callback may be called while the device is in IDLE and
3600 * must be accepted in this case.
3601 * This callback may sleep.
3602 * @cancel_remain_on_channel: Requests that an ongoing off-channel period is
3603 * aborted before it expires. This callback may sleep.
3605 * @set_ringparam: Set tx and rx ring sizes.
3607 * @get_ringparam: Get tx and rx ring current and maximum sizes.
3609 * @tx_frames_pending: Check if there is any pending frame in the hardware
3610 * queues before entering power save.
3612 * @set_bitrate_mask: Set a mask of rates to be used for rate control selection
3613 * when transmitting a frame. Currently only legacy rates are handled.
3614 * The callback can sleep.
3615 * @event_callback: Notify driver about any event in mac80211. See
3616 * &enum ieee80211_event_type for the different types.
3617 * The callback must be atomic.
3619 * @release_buffered_frames: Release buffered frames according to the given
3620 * parameters. In the case where the driver buffers some frames for
3621 * sleeping stations mac80211 will use this callback to tell the driver
3622 * to release some frames, either for PS-poll or uAPSD.
3623 * Note that if the @more_data parameter is %false the driver must check
3624 * if there are more frames on the given TIDs, and if there are more than
3625 * the frames being released then it must still set the more-data bit in
3626 * the frame. If the @more_data parameter is %true, then of course the
3627 * more-data bit must always be set.
3628 * The @tids parameter tells the driver which TIDs to release frames
3629 * from, for PS-poll it will always have only a single bit set.
3630 * In the case this is used for a PS-poll initiated release, the
3631 * @num_frames parameter will always be 1 so code can be shared. In
3632 * this case the driver must also set %IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP flag
3633 * on the TX status (and must report TX status) so that the PS-poll
3634 * period is properly ended. This is used to avoid sending multiple
3635 * responses for a retried PS-poll frame.
3636 * In the case this is used for uAPSD, the @num_frames parameter may be
3637 * bigger than one, but the driver may send fewer frames (it must send
3638 * at least one, however). In this case it is also responsible for
3639 * setting the EOSP flag in the QoS header of the frames. Also, when the
3640 * service period ends, the driver must set %IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP
3641 * on the last frame in the SP. Alternatively, it may call the function
3642 * ieee80211_sta_eosp() to inform mac80211 of the end of the SP.
3643 * This callback must be atomic.
3644 * @allow_buffered_frames: Prepare device to allow the given number of frames
3645 * to go out to the given station. The frames will be sent by mac80211
3646 * via the usual TX path after this call. The TX information for frames
3647 * released will also have the %IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_PS_BUFFER flag set
3648 * and the last one will also have %IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP set. In case
3649 * frames from multiple TIDs are released and the driver might reorder
3650 * them between the TIDs, it must set the %IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP flag
3651 * on the last frame and clear it on all others and also handle the EOSP
3652 * bit in the QoS header correctly. Alternatively, it can also call the
3653 * ieee80211_sta_eosp() function.
3654 * The @tids parameter is a bitmap and tells the driver which TIDs the
3655 * frames will be on; it will at most have two bits set.
3656 * This callback must be atomic.
3658 * @get_et_sset_count: Ethtool API to get string-set count.
3660 * @get_et_stats: Ethtool API to get a set of u64 stats.
3662 * @get_et_strings: Ethtool API to get a set of strings to describe stats
3663 * and perhaps other supported types of ethtool data-sets.
3665 * @mgd_prepare_tx: Prepare for transmitting a management frame for association
3666 * before associated. In multi-channel scenarios, a virtual interface is
3667 * bound to a channel before it is associated, but as it isn't associated
3668 * yet it need not necessarily be given airtime, in particular since any
3669 * transmission to a P2P GO needs to be synchronized against the GO's
3670 * powersave state. mac80211 will call this function before transmitting a
3671 * management frame prior to having successfully associated to allow the
3672 * driver to give it channel time for the transmission, to get a response
3673 * and to be able to synchronize with the GO.
3674 * For drivers that set %IEEE80211_HW_DEAUTH_NEED_MGD_TX_PREP, mac80211
3675 * would also call this function before transmitting a deauthentication
3676 * frame in case that no beacon was heard from the AP/P2P GO.
3677 * The callback will be called before each transmission and upon return
3678 * mac80211 will transmit the frame right away.
3679 * If duration is greater than zero, mac80211 hints to the driver the
3680 * duration for which the operation is requested.
3681 * The callback is optional and can (should!) sleep.
3683 * @mgd_protect_tdls_discover: Protect a TDLS discovery session. After sending
3684 * a TDLS discovery-request, we expect a reply to arrive on the AP's
3685 * channel. We must stay on the channel (no PSM, scan, etc.), since a TDLS
3686 * setup-response is a direct packet not buffered by the AP.
3687 * mac80211 will call this function just before the transmission of a TDLS
3688 * discovery-request. The recommended period of protection is at least
3689 * 2 * (DTIM period).
3690 * The callback is optional and can sleep.
3692 * @add_chanctx: Notifies device driver about new channel context creation.
3693 * This callback may sleep.
3694 * @remove_chanctx: Notifies device driver about channel context destruction.
3695 * This callback may sleep.
3696 * @change_chanctx: Notifies device driver about channel context changes that
3697 * may happen when combining different virtual interfaces on the same
3698 * channel context with different settings
3699 * This callback may sleep.
3700 * @assign_vif_chanctx: Notifies device driver about channel context being bound
3701 * to vif. Possible use is for hw queue remapping.
3702 * This callback may sleep.
3703 * @unassign_vif_chanctx: Notifies device driver about channel context being
3704 * unbound from vif.
3705 * This callback may sleep.
3706 * @switch_vif_chanctx: switch a number of vifs from one chanctx to
3707 * another, as specified in the list of
3708 * @ieee80211_vif_chanctx_switch passed to the driver, according
3709 * to the mode defined in &ieee80211_chanctx_switch_mode.
3710 * This callback may sleep.
3712 * @start_ap: Start operation on the AP interface, this is called after all the
3713 * information in bss_conf is set and beacon can be retrieved. A channel
3714 * context is bound before this is called. Note that if the driver uses
3715 * software scan or ROC, this (and @stop_ap) isn't called when the AP is
3716 * just "paused" for scanning/ROC, which is indicated by the beacon being
3717 * disabled/enabled via @bss_info_changed.
3718 * @stop_ap: Stop operation on the AP interface.
3720 * @reconfig_complete: Called after a call to ieee80211_restart_hw() and
3721 * during resume, when the reconfiguration has completed.
3722 * This can help the driver implement the reconfiguration step (and
3723 * indicate mac80211 is ready to receive frames).
3724 * This callback may sleep.
3726 * @ipv6_addr_change: IPv6 address assignment on the given interface changed.
3727 * Currently, this is only called for managed or P2P client interfaces.
3728 * This callback is optional; it must not sleep.
3730 * @channel_switch_beacon: Starts a channel switch to a new channel.
3731 * Beacons are modified to include CSA or ECSA IEs before calling this
3732 * function. The corresponding count fields in these IEs must be
3733 * decremented, and when they reach 1 the driver must call
3734 * ieee80211_csa_finish(). Drivers which use ieee80211_beacon_get()
3735 * get the csa counter decremented by mac80211, but must check if it is
3736 * 1 using ieee80211_csa_is_complete() after the beacon has been
3737 * transmitted and then call ieee80211_csa_finish().
3738 * If the CSA count starts as zero or 1, this function will not be called,
3739 * since there won't be any time to beacon before the switch anyway.
3740 * @pre_channel_switch: This is an optional callback that is called
3741 * before a channel switch procedure is started (ie. when a STA
3742 * gets a CSA or a userspace initiated channel-switch), allowing
3743 * the driver to prepare for the channel switch.
3744 * @post_channel_switch: This is an optional callback that is called
3745 * after a channel switch procedure is completed, allowing the
3746 * driver to go back to a normal configuration.
3747 * @abort_channel_switch: This is an optional callback that is called
3748 * when channel switch procedure was completed, allowing the
3749 * driver to go back to a normal configuration.
3750 * @channel_switch_rx_beacon: This is an optional callback that is called
3751 * when channel switch procedure is in progress and additional beacon with
3752 * CSA IE was received, allowing driver to track changes in count.
3753 * @join_ibss: Join an IBSS (on an IBSS interface); this is called after all
3754 * information in bss_conf is set up and the beacon can be retrieved. A
3755 * channel context is bound before this is called.
3756 * @leave_ibss: Leave the IBSS again.
3758 * @get_expected_throughput: extract the expected throughput towards the
3759 * specified station. The returned value is expressed in Kbps. It returns 0
3760 * if the RC algorithm does not have proper data to provide.
3762 * @get_txpower: get current maximum tx power (in dBm) based on configuration
3763 * and hardware limits.
3765 * @tdls_channel_switch: Start channel-switching with a TDLS peer. The driver
3766 * is responsible for continually initiating channel-switching operations
3767 * and returning to the base channel for communication with the AP. The
3768 * driver receives a channel-switch request template and the location of
3769 * the switch-timing IE within the template as part of the invocation.
3770 * The template is valid only within the call, and the driver can
3771 * optionally copy the skb for further re-use.
3772 * @tdls_cancel_channel_switch: Stop channel-switching with a TDLS peer. Both
3773 * peers must be on the base channel when the call completes.
3774 * @tdls_recv_channel_switch: a TDLS channel-switch related frame (request or
3775 * response) has been received from a remote peer. The driver gets
3776 * parameters parsed from the incoming frame and may use them to continue
3777 * an ongoing channel-switch operation. In addition, a channel-switch
3778 * response template is provided, together with the location of the
3779 * switch-timing IE within the template. The skb can only be used within
3780 * the function call.
3782 * @wake_tx_queue: Called when new packets have been added to the queue.
3783 * @sync_rx_queues: Process all pending frames in RSS queues. This is a
3784 * synchronization which is needed in case driver has in its RSS queues
3785 * pending frames that were received prior to the control path action
3786 * currently taken (e.g. disassociation) but are not processed yet.
3788 * @start_nan: join an existing NAN cluster, or create a new one.
3789 * @stop_nan: leave the NAN cluster.
3790 * @nan_change_conf: change NAN configuration. The data in cfg80211_nan_conf
3791 * contains full new configuration and changes specify which parameters
3792 * are changed with respect to the last NAN config.
3793 * The driver gets both full configuration and the changed parameters since
3794 * some devices may need the full configuration while others need only the
3795 * changed parameters.
3796 * @add_nan_func: Add a NAN function. Returns 0 on success. The data in
3797 * cfg80211_nan_func must not be referenced outside the scope of
3798 * this call.
3799 * @del_nan_func: Remove a NAN function. The driver must call
3800 * ieee80211_nan_func_terminated() with
3801 * NL80211_NAN_FUNC_TERM_REASON_USER_REQUEST reason code upon removal.
3802 * @can_aggregate_in_amsdu: Called in order to determine if HW supports
3803 * aggregating two specific frames in the same A-MSDU. The relation
3804 * between the skbs should be symmetric and transitive. Note that while
3805 * skb is always a real frame, head may or may not be an A-MSDU.
3806 * @get_ftm_responder_stats: Retrieve FTM responder statistics, if available.
3807 * Statistics should be cumulative, currently no way to reset is provided.
3809 * @start_pmsr: start peer measurement (e.g. FTM) (this call can sleep)
3810 * @abort_pmsr: abort peer measurement (this call can sleep)
3811 * @set_tid_config: Apply TID specific configurations. This callback may sleep.
3812 * @reset_tid_config: Reset TID specific configuration for the peer.
3813 * This callback may sleep.
