CONSTANTS

22       FIF_PROMISC_IN_BSS
23           promiscuous mode within your BSS, think of the BSS as your network
24           segment and then this corresponds to the regular ethernet device
25           promiscuous mode.
26
27       FIF_ALLMULTI
28           pass all multicast frames, this is used if requested by the user or
29           if the hardware is not capable of filtering by multicast address.
30
31       FIF_FCSFAIL
32           pass frames with failed FCS (but you need to set the
33           RX_FLAG_FAILED_FCS_CRC for them)
34
35       FIF_PLCPFAIL
36           pass frames with failed PLCP CRC (but you need to set the
37           RX_FLAG_FAILED_PLCP_CRC for them
38
39       FIF_BCN_PRBRESP_PROMISC
40           This flag is set during scanning to indicate to the hardware that
41           it should not filter beacons or probe responses by BSSID. Filtering
42           them can greatly reduce the amount of processing mac80211 needs to
43           do and the amount of CPU wakeups, so you should honour this flag if
44           possible.
45
46       FIF_CONTROL
47           pass control frames (except for PS Poll) addressed to this station
48
49       FIF_OTHER_BSS
50           pass frames destined to other BSSes
51
52       FIF_PSPOLL
53           pass PS Poll frames
54
55       FIF_PROBE_REQ
56           pass probe request frames
57

HW QUEUE CONTROL

59       These flags determine what the filter in hardware should be programmed
60       to let through and what should not be passed to the stack. It is always
61       safe to pass more frames than requested, but this has negative impact
62       on power consumption.
