SYNOPSIS

9       enum ieee80211_conf_flags {
10         IEEE80211_CONF_MONITOR,
11         IEEE80211_CONF_PS,
12         IEEE80211_CONF_IDLE,
13         IEEE80211_CONF_OFFCHANNEL
14       };

CONSTANTS

17       IEEE80211_CONF_MONITOR
18           there's a monitor interface present -- use this to determine for
19           example whether to calculate timestamps for packets or not, do not
20           use instead of filter flags!
21
22       IEEE80211_CONF_PS
23           Enable 802.11 power save mode (managed mode only). This is the
24           power save mode defined by IEEE 802.11-2007 section 11.2, meaning
25           that the hardware still wakes up for beacons, is able to transmit
26           frames and receive the possible acknowledgment frames. Not to be
27           confused with hardware specific wakeup/sleep states, driver is
28           responsible for that. See the section “Powersave support” for more.
29
30       IEEE80211_CONF_IDLE
31           The device is running, but idle; if the flag is set the driver
32           should be prepared to handle configuration requests but may turn
33           the device off as much as possible. Typically, this flag will be
34           set when an interface is set UP but not associated or scanning, but
35           it can also be unset in that case when monitor interfaces are
36           active.
37
38       IEEE80211_CONF_OFFCHANNEL
39           The device is currently not on its main operating channel.
