MEMBERS

24       flags
25           configuration flags defined above
26
27       power_level
28           requested transmit power (in dBm), backward compatibility value
29           only that is set to the minimum of all interfaces
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       max_sleep_period
37           the maximum number of beacon intervals to sleep for before checking
38           the beacon for a TIM bit (managed mode only); this value will be
39           only achievable between DTIM frames, the hardware needs to check
40           for the multicast traffic bit in DTIM beacons. This variable is
41           valid only when the CONF_PS flag is set.
42
43       listen_interval
44           listen interval in units of beacon interval
45
46       ps_dtim_period
47           The DTIM period of the AP we´re connected to, for use in power
48           saving. Power saving will not be enabled until a beacon has been
49           received and the DTIM period is known.
50
51       long_frame_max_tx_count
52           Maximum number of transmissions for a “long” frame (a frame not RTS
53           protected), called “dot11LongRetryLimit” in 802.11, but actually
54           means the number of transmissions not the number of retries
55
56       short_frame_max_tx_count
57           Maximum number of transmissions for a “short” frame, called
58           “dot11ShortRetryLimit” in 802.11, but actually means the number of
59           transmissions not the number of retries
60
61       chandef
62           the channel definition to tune to
63
64       radar_enabled
65           whether radar detection is enabled
66
67       smps_mode
68           spatial multiplexing powersave mode; note that
69           IEEE80211_SMPS_STATIC is used when the device is not configured for
70           an HT channel. Note that this is only valid if channel contexts are
71           not used, otherwise each channel context has the number of chains
72           listed.
73

DESCRIPTION

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