MEMBERS

23       drv_priv
24           pointer for driver use
25
26       tx_pn
27           PN used for TX on non-TKIP keys, may be used by the driver as well
28           if it needs to do software PN assignment by itself (e.g. due to
29           TSO)
30
31       cipher
32           The key´s cipher suite selector.
33
34       icv_len
35           The ICV length for this key type
36
37       iv_len
38           The IV length for this key type
39
40       hw_key_idx
41           To be set by the driver, this is the key index the driver wants to
42           be given when a frame is transmitted and needs to be encrypted in
43           hardware.
44
45       flags
46           key flags, see enum ieee80211_key_flags.
47
48       keyidx
49           the key index (0-3)
50
51       keylen
52           key material length
53
54       key[0]
55           key material. For ALG_TKIP the key is encoded as a 256-bit (32
56           byte)
57

DESCRIPTION

59       This key information is given by mac80211 to the driver by the set_key
60       callback in struct ieee80211_ops.
