MEMBERS

25       flags
26           configuration flags defined above
27
28       power_level
29           requested transmit power (in dBm)
30
31       dynamic_ps_timeout
32           The dynamic powersave timeout (in ms), see the powersave
33           documentation below. This variable is valid only when the CONF_PS
34           flag is set.
35
36       dynamic_ps_forced_timeout
37           The dynamic powersave timeout (in ms) configured by cfg80211
38           (essentially, wext) If set, this value overrules the value chosen
39           by mac80211 based on ps qos network latency.
40
41       max_sleep_period
42           the maximum number of beacon intervals to sleep for before checking
43           the beacon for a TIM bit (managed mode only); this value will be
44           only achievable between DTIM frames, the hardware needs to check
45           for the multicast traffic bit in DTIM beacons. This variable is
46           valid only when the CONF_PS flag is set.
47
48       listen_interval
49           listen interval in units of beacon interval
50
51       ps_dtim_period
52           The DTIM period of the AP we're connected to, for use in power
53           saving. Power saving will not be enabled until a beacon has been
54           received and the DTIM period is known.
55
56       long_frame_max_tx_count
57           Maximum number of transmissions for a “long” frame (a frame not RTS
58           protected), called “dot11LongRetryLimit” in 802.11, but actually
59           means the number of transmissions not the number of retries
60
61       short_frame_max_tx_count
62           Maximum number of transmissions for a “short” frame, called
63           “dot11ShortRetryLimit” in 802.11, but actually means the number of
64           transmissions not the number of retries
65
66       channel
67           the channel to tune to
68
69       channel_type
70           the channel (HT) type
71
72       smps_mode
73           spatial multiplexing powersave mode; note that
74           IEEE80211_SMPS_STATIC is used when the device is not configured for
75           an HT channel
76

DESCRIPTION

78       This struct indicates how the driver shall configure the hardware.
