MEMBERS¶
mactime
value in microseconds of the 64-bit Time Synchronization
Function (TSF) timer when the first data symbol (MPDU) arrived at the
hardware.
device_timestamp
arbitrary timestamp for the device, mac80211
doesn´t use it but can store it and pass it back to the driver for
synchronisation
ampdu_reference
A-MPDU reference number, must be a different value for
each A-MPDU but the same for each subframe within one A-MPDU
flag
RX_FLAG_*
freq
frequency the radio was tuned to when receiving this
frame, in MHz
vht_flag
RX_VHT_FLAG_*
rate_idx
index of data rate into band´s supported rates or
MCS index if HT or VHT is used (RX_FLAG_HT/RX_FLAG_VHT)
vht_nss
number of streams (VHT only)
rx_flags
internal RX flags for mac80211
band
the active band when this frame was received
antenna
antenna used
signal
signal strength when receiving this frame, either in dBm,
in dB or unspecified depending on the hardware capabilities flags
IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_*
chains
bitmask of receive chains for which separate signal
strength values were filled.
chain_signal[IEEE80211_MAX_CHAINS]
per-chain signal strength, in dBm (unlike signal,
doesn´t support dB or unspecified units)
ampdu_delimiter_crc
A-MPDU delimiter CRC
DESCRIPTION¶
The low-level driver should provide this information (the subset supported by hardware) to the 802.11 code with each received frame, in the skb´s control buffer (cb).
