u8 ps_dtim_period;
u8 long_frame_max_tx_count;

};
MEMBERS¶
flags
configuration flags defined above
power_level
requested transmit power (in dBm), backward compatibility
value only that is set to the minimum of all interfaces
dynamic_ps_timeout
The dynamic powersave timeout (in ms), see the powersave
documentation below. This variable is valid only when the CONF_PS flag is
set.
listen_interval
listen interval in units of beacon interval
ps_dtim_period
The DTIM period of the AP we're connected to, for use in
power saving. Power saving will not be enabled until a beacon has been
received and the DTIM period is known.
long_frame_max_tx_count
Maximum number of transmissions for a
“long” frame (a frame not RTS protected), called
“dot11LongRetryLimit” in 802.11, but actually means the number
of transmissions not the number of retries
short_frame_max_tx_count
Maximum number of transmissions for a
“short” frame, called “dot11ShortRetryLimit” in
802.11, but actually means the number of transmissions not the number of
retries
chandef
the channel definition to tune to
radar_enabled
whether radar detection is enabled
smps_mode
spatial multiplexing powersave mode; note that
IEEE80211_SMPS_STATIC is used when the device is not configured for an
HT channel. Note that this is only valid if channel contexts are not used,
otherwise each channel context has the number of chains listed.
DESCRIPTION¶
This struct indicates how the driver shall configure the hardware.
