MEMBERS

27       conf
28
29           struct ieee80211_conf, device configuration, don't use.
30
31       wiphy
32           This points to the struct wiphy allocated for this 802.11 PHY. You
33           must fill in the perm_addr and dev members of this structure using
34           SET_IEEE80211_DEV and SET_IEEE80211_PERM_ADDR. Additionally, all
35           supported bands (with channels, bitrates) are registered here.
36
37       rate_control_algorithm
38           rate control algorithm for this hardware. If unset (NULL), the
39           default algorithm will be used. Must be set before calling
40           ieee80211_register_hw.
41
42       priv
43           pointer to private area that was allocated for driver use along
44           with this structure.
45
46       flags
47           hardware flags, see enum ieee80211_hw_flags.
48
49       extra_tx_headroom
50           headroom to reserve in each transmit skb for use by the driver
51           (e.g. for transmit headers.)
52
53       channel_change_time
54           time (in microseconds) it takes to change channels.
55
56       vif_data_size
57           size (in bytes) of the drv_priv data area within struct
58           ieee80211_vif.
59
60       sta_data_size
61           size (in bytes) of the drv_priv data area within struct
62           ieee80211_sta.
63
64       queues
65           number of available hardware transmit queues for data packets.
66           WMM/QoS requires at least four, these queues need to have
67           configurable access parameters.
68
69       max_listen_interval
70           max listen interval in units of beacon interval that HW supports
71
72       max_signal
73           Maximum value for signal (rssi) in RX information, used only when
74           IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_UNSPEC or IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_DB
75
76       max_rates
77           maximum number of alternate rate retry stages
78
79       max_rate_tries
80           maximum number of tries for each stage
81

DESCRIPTION

83       This structure contains the configuration and hardware information for
84       an 802.11 PHY.
