MEMBERS

24       hw
25           The hardware the algorithm is invoked for.
26
27       sband
28           The band this frame is being transmitted on.
29
30       bss_conf
31           the current BSS configuration
32
33       skb
34           the skb that will be transmitted, the control information in it
35           needs to be filled in
36
37       reported_rate
38           The rate control algorithm can fill this in to indicate which rate
39           should be reported to userspace as the current rate and used for
40           rate calculations in the mesh network.
41
42       rts
43           whether RTS will be used for this frame because it is longer than
44           the RTS threshold
45
46       short_preamble
47           whether mac80211 will request short-preamble transmission if the
48           selected rate supports it
49
50       rate_idx_mask
51           user-requested (legacy) rate mask
52
53       rate_idx_mcs_mask
54           user-requested MCS rate mask (NULL if not in use)
55
56       bss
57           whether this frame is sent out in AP or IBSS mode
