MEMBERS

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

DESCRIPTION

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