MEMBERS

24       channel
25           channel this BSS is on
26
27       scan_width
28           width of the control channel
29
30       ies
31           the information elements (Note that there is no guarantee that
32           these are well-formed!); this is a pointer to either the beacon_ies
33           or proberesp_ies depending on whether Probe Response frame has been
34           received. It is always non-NULL.
35
36       beacon_ies
37           the information elements from the last Beacon frame (implementation
38           note: if hidden_beacon_bss is set this struct doesn't own the
39           beacon_ies, but they're just pointers to the ones from the
40           hidden_beacon_bss struct)
41
42       proberesp_ies
43           the information elements from the last Probe Response frame
44
45       hidden_beacon_bss
46           in case this BSS struct represents a probe response from a BSS that
47           hides the SSID in its beacon, this points to the BSS struct that
48           holds the beacon data.  beacon_ies is still valid, of course, and
49           points to the same data as hidden_beacon_bss->beacon_ies in that
50           case.
51
52       signal
53           signal strength value (type depends on the wiphy's signal_type)
54
55       beacon_interval
56           the beacon interval as from the frame
57
58       capability
59           the capability field in host byte order
60
61       bssid[ETH_ALEN]
62           BSSID of the BSS
63
64       priv[0]
65           private area for driver use, has at least wiphy->bss_priv_size
66           bytes
67

DESCRIPTION

69       This structure describes a BSS (which may also be a mesh network) for
70       use in scan results and similar.
