29 * mac80211 is the Linux stack for 802.11 hardware that implements
30 * only partial functionality in hard- or firmware. This document
31 * defines the interface between mac80211 and low-level hardware
36 * DOC: Calling mac80211 from interrupts
38 * Only ieee80211_tx_status_irqsafe() and ieee80211_rx_irqsafe() can be
39 * called in hardware interrupt context. The low-level driver must not call any
40 * other functions in hardware interrupt context. If there is a need for such
41 * call, the low-level driver should first ACK the interrupt and perform the
42 * IEEE 802.11 code call after this, e.g. from a scheduled workqueue or even
45 * NOTE: If the driver opts to use the _irqsafe() functions, it may not also
46 * use the non-IRQ-safe functions!
52 * If you're reading this document and not the header file itself, it will
53 * be incomplete because not all documentation has been converted yet.
59 * As a general rule, when frames are passed between mac80211 and the driver,
60 * they start with the IEEE 802.11 header and include the same octets that are
61 * sent over the air except for the FCS which should be calculated by the
64 * There are, however, various exceptions to this rule for advanced features:
66 * The first exception is for hardware encryption and decryption offload
67 * where the IV/ICV may or may not be generated in hardware.
69 * Secondly, when the hardware handles fragmentation, the frame handed to
70 * the driver from mac80211 is the MSDU, not the MPDU.
74 * DOC: mac80211 workqueue
76 * mac80211 provides its own workqueue for drivers and internal mac80211 use.
77 * The workqueue is a single threaded workqueue and can only be accessed by
78 * helpers for sanity checking. Drivers must ensure all work added onto the
79 * mac80211 workqueue should be cancelled on the driver stop() callback.
81 * mac80211 will flushed the workqueue upon interface removal and during
84 * All work performed on the mac80211 workqueue must not acquire the RTNL lock.
89 * DOC: mac80211 software tx queueing
91 * mac80211 provides an optional intermediate queueing implementation designed
92 * to allow the driver to keep hardware queues short and provide some fairness
93 * between different stations/interfaces.
94 * In this model, the driver pulls data frames from the mac80211 queue instead
95 * of letting mac80211 push them via drv_tx().
96 * Other frames (e.g. control or management) are still pushed using drv_tx().
98 * Drivers indicate that they use this model by implementing the .wake_tx_queue
101 * Intermediate queues (struct ieee80211_txq) are kept per-sta per-tid, with
102 * another per-sta for non-data/non-mgmt and bufferable management frames, and
103 * a single per-vif queue for multicast data frames.
105 * The driver is expected to initialize its private per-queue data for stations
106 * and interfaces in the .add_interface and .sta_add ops.
108 * The driver can't access the queue directly. To dequeue a frame from a
109 * txq, it calls ieee80211_tx_dequeue(). Whenever mac80211 adds a new frame to a
110 * queue, it calls the .wake_tx_queue driver op.
112 * Drivers can optionally delegate responsibility for scheduling queues to
113 * mac80211, to take advantage of airtime fairness accounting. In this case, to
114 * obtain the next queue to pull frames from, the driver calls
115 * ieee80211_next_txq(). The driver is then expected to return the txq using
116 * ieee80211_return_txq().
118 * For AP powersave TIM handling, the driver only needs to indicate if it has
119 * buffered packets in the driver specific data structures by calling
120 * ieee80211_sta_set_buffered(). For frames buffered in the ieee80211_txq
121 * struct, mac80211 sets the appropriate TIM PVB bits and calls
122 * .release_buffered_frames().
123 * In that callback the driver is therefore expected to release its own
124 * buffered frames and afterwards also frames from the ieee80211_txq (obtained
125 * via the usual ieee80211_tx_dequeue).

606 * @max_idle_period: the time period during which the station can refrain from
607 * transmitting frames to its associated AP without being disassociated.
608 * In units of 1000 TUs. Zero value indicates that the AP did not include

721 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_REQ_TX_STATUS: require TX status callback for this frame.
722 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_ASSIGN_SEQ: The driver has to assign a sequence
723 * number to this frame, taking care of not overwriting the fragment
724 * number and increasing the sequence number only when the
725 * IEEE80211_TX_CTL_FIRST_FRAGMENT flag is set. mac80211 will properly
726 * assign sequence numbers to QoS-data frames but cannot do so correctly
727 * for non-QoS-data and management frames because beacons need them from
728 * that counter as well and mac80211 cannot guarantee proper sequencing.
729 * If this flag is set, the driver should instruct the hardware to
730 * assign a sequence number to the frame or assign one itself. Cf. IEEE
731 * 802.11-2007 7.1.3.4.1 paragraph 3. This flag will always be set for
732 * beacons and always be clear for frames without a sequence number field.
733 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_ACK: tell the low level not to wait for an ack
734 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_CLEAR_PS_FILT: clear powersave filter for destination
736 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_FIRST_FRAGMENT: this is a first fragment of the frame
737 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_SEND_AFTER_DTIM: send this frame after DTIM beacon
738 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_AMPDU: this frame should be sent as part of an A-MPDU
739 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_INJECTED: Frame was injected, internal to mac80211.
740 * @IEEE80211_TX_STAT_TX_FILTERED: The frame was not transmitted
741 * because the destination STA was in powersave mode. Note that to
742 * avoid race conditions, the filter must be set by the hardware or
743 * firmware upon receiving a frame that indicates that the station
744 * went to sleep (must be done on device to filter frames already on
745 * the queue) and may only be unset after mac80211 gives the OK for
746 * that by setting the IEEE80211_TX_CTL_CLEAR_PS_FILT (see above),
747 * since only then is it guaranteed that no more frames are in the
749 * @IEEE80211_TX_STAT_ACK: Frame was acknowledged
750 * @IEEE80211_TX_STAT_AMPDU: The frame was aggregated, so status
751 * is for the whole aggregation.
752 * @IEEE80211_TX_STAT_AMPDU_NO_BACK: no block ack was returned,
753 * so consider using block ack request (BAR).
754 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_RATE_CTRL_PROBE: internal to mac80211, can be
755 * set by rate control algorithms to indicate probe rate, will
756 * be cleared for fragmented frames (except on the last fragment)
757 * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_OFFCHAN_TX_OK: Internal to mac80211. Used to indicate
758 * that a frame can be transmitted while the queues are stopped for
759 * off-channel operation.
760 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_HW_80211_ENCAP: This frame uses hardware encapsulation
761 * (header conversion)
762 * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_RETRIED: completely internal to mac80211,
763 * used to indicate that a frame was already retried due to PS
764 * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_DONT_ENCRYPT: completely internal to mac80211,
765 * used to indicate frame should not be encrypted
766 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_PS_BUFFER: This frame is a response to a poll
767 * frame (PS-Poll or uAPSD) or a non-bufferable MMPDU and must
768 * be sent although the station is in powersave mode.
769 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_MORE_FRAMES: More frames will be passed to the
770 * transmit function after the current frame, this can be used
771 * by drivers to kick the DMA queue only if unset or when the
773 * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_RETRANSMISSION: This frame is being retransmitted
774 * after TX status because the destination was asleep, it must not
775 * be modified again (no seqno assignment, crypto, etc.)
776 * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_MLME_CONN_TX: This frame was transmitted by the MLME
777 * code for connection establishment, this indicates that its status
778 * should kick the MLME state machine.
779 * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_NL80211_FRAME_TX: Frame was requested through nl80211
780 * MLME command (internal to mac80211 to figure out whether to send TX
781 * status to user space)
782 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_LDPC: tells the driver to use LDPC for this frame
783 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_STBC: Enables Space-Time Block Coding (STBC) for this
784 * frame and selects the maximum number of streams that it can use.
785 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_TX_OFFCHAN: Marks this packet to be transmitted on
786 * the off-channel channel when a remain-on-channel offload is done
787 * in hardware -- normal packets still flow and are expected to be
788 * handled properly by the device.
789 * @IEEE80211_TX_INTFL_TKIP_MIC_FAILURE: Marks this packet to be used for TKIP
790 * testing. It will be sent out with incorrect Michael MIC key to allow
791 * TKIP countermeasures to be tested.
792 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_CCK_RATE: This frame will be sent at non CCK rate.
793 * This flag is actually used for management frame especially for P2P
794 * frames not being sent at CCK rate in 2GHz band.
795 * @IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP: This packet marks the end of service period,
796 * when its status is reported the service period ends. For frames in
797 * an SP that mac80211 transmits, it is already set; for driver frames
798 * the driver may set this flag. It is also used to do the same for
800 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_USE_MINRATE: This frame will be sent at lowest rate.
801 * This flag is used to send nullfunc frame at minimum rate when
802 * the nullfunc is used for connection monitoring purpose.
803 * @IEEE80211_TX_CTL_DONTFRAG: Don't fragment this packet even if it
804 * would be fragmented by size (this is optional, only used for
805 * monitor injection).
806 * @IEEE80211_TX_STAT_NOACK_TRANSMITTED: A frame that was marked with
807 * IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_ACK has been successfully transmitted without
808 * any errors (like issues specific to the driver/HW).
809 * This flag must not be set for frames that don't request no-ack
810 * behaviour with IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_ACK.
812 * Note: If you have to add new flags to the enumeration, then don't
813 * forget to update %IEEE80211_TX_TEMPORARY_FLAGS when necessary.

1251 * @RX_FLAG_DECRYPTED: This frame was decrypted in hardware.
1252 * @RX_FLAG_MMIC_STRIPPED: the Michael MIC is stripped off this frame,
1253 * verification has been done by the hardware.
1254 * @RX_FLAG_IV_STRIPPED: The IV and ICV are stripped from this frame.
1255 * If this flag is set, the stack cannot do any replay detection
1256 * hence the driver or hardware will have to do that.
1257 * @RX_FLAG_PN_VALIDATED: Currently only valid for CCMP/GCMP frames, this
1258 * flag indicates that the PN was verified for replay protection.
1259 * Note that this flag is also currently only supported when a frame
1260 * is also decrypted (ie. @RX_FLAG_DECRYPTED must be set)
1261 * @RX_FLAG_DUP_VALIDATED: The driver should set this flag if it did
1262 * de-duplication by itself.
1263 * @RX_FLAG_FAILED_FCS_CRC: Set this flag if the FCS check failed on
1265 * @RX_FLAG_FAILED_PLCP_CRC: Set this flag if the PCLP check failed on
1267 * @RX_FLAG_MACTIME_START: The timestamp passed in the RX status (@mactime
1268 * field) is valid and contains the time the first symbol of the MPDU
1269 * was received. This is useful in monitor mode and for proper IBSS
1271 * @RX_FLAG_MACTIME_END: The timestamp passed in the RX status (@mactime
1272 * field) is valid and contains the time the last symbol of the MPDU
1273 * (including FCS) was received.
1274 * @RX_FLAG_MACTIME_PLCP_START: The timestamp passed in the RX status (@mactime
1275 * field) is valid and contains the time the SYNC preamble was received.
1276 * @RX_FLAG_NO_SIGNAL_VAL: The signal strength value is not present.
1277 * Valid only for data frames (mainly A-MPDU)
1278 * @RX_FLAG_AMPDU_DETAILS: A-MPDU details are known, in particular the reference
1279 * number (@ampdu_reference) must be populated and be a distinct number for
1281 * @RX_FLAG_AMPDU_LAST_KNOWN: last subframe is known, should be set on all
1282 * subframes of a single A-MPDU
1283 * @RX_FLAG_AMPDU_IS_LAST: this subframe is the last subframe of the A-MPDU
1284 * @RX_FLAG_AMPDU_DELIM_CRC_ERROR: A delimiter CRC error has been detected
1286 * @RX_FLAG_AMPDU_DELIM_CRC_KNOWN: The delimiter CRC field is known (the CRC
1287 * is stored in the @ampdu_delimiter_crc field)
1288 * @RX_FLAG_MIC_STRIPPED: The mic was stripped of this packet. Decryption was
1289 * done by the hardware
1290 * @RX_FLAG_ONLY_MONITOR: Report frame only to monitor interfaces without
1291 * processing it in any regular way.
1292 * This is useful if drivers offload some frames but still want to report
1293 * them for sniffing purposes.
1294 * @RX_FLAG_SKIP_MONITOR: Process and report frame to all interfaces except
1295 * monitor interfaces.
1296 * This is useful if drivers offload some frames but still want to report
1297 * them for sniffing purposes.
1298 * @RX_FLAG_AMSDU_MORE: Some drivers may prefer to report separate A-MSDU
1299 * subframes instead of a one huge frame for performance reasons.
1300 * All, but the last MSDU from an A-MSDU should have this flag set. E.g.
1301 * if an A-MSDU has 3 frames, the first 2 must have the flag set, while
1302 * the 3rd (last) one must not have this flag set. The flag is used to
1303 * deal with retransmission/duplication recovery properly since A-MSDU
1304 * subframes share the same sequence number. Reported subframes can be
1305 * either regular MSDU or singly A-MSDUs. Subframes must not be
1306 * interleaved with other frames.
1307 * @RX_FLAG_RADIOTAP_VENDOR_DATA: This frame contains vendor-specific
1308 * radiotap data in the skb->data (before the frame) as described by
1309 * the &struct ieee80211_vendor_radiotap.
1310 * @RX_FLAG_ALLOW_SAME_PN: Allow the same PN as same packet before.
1311 * This is used for AMSDU subframes which can have the same PN as
1312 * the first subframe.
1313 * @RX_FLAG_ICV_STRIPPED: The ICV is stripped from this frame. CRC checking must
1314 * be done in the hardware.
1315 * @RX_FLAG_AMPDU_EOF_BIT: Value of the EOF bit in the A-MPDU delimiter for this
1317 * @RX_FLAG_AMPDU_EOF_BIT_KNOWN: The EOF value is known
1318 * @RX_FLAG_RADIOTAP_HE: HE radiotap data is present
1319 * (&struct ieee80211_radiotap_he, mac80211 will fill in
1325 * - DATA5_DATA_BW_RU_ALLOC
1329 * from the RX info data, so leave those zeroed when building this data)

1334 * the "0-length PSDU" field included there. The value for it is
1335 * in &struct ieee80211_rx_status. Note that if this value isn't
1336 * known the frame shouldn't be reported.

2121 * A station table entry represents a station we are possibly
2122 * communicating with. Since stations are RCU-managed in
2123 * mac80211, any ieee80211_sta pointer you get access to must
2124 * either be protected by rcu_read_lock() explicitly or implicitly,
2125 * or you must take good care to not use such a pointer after a
2126 * call to your sta_remove callback that removed it.
2127 * This also represents the MLD STA in case of MLO association
2128 * and holds pointers to various link STA's

2131 * @aid: AID we assigned to the station if we're an AP
2132 * @max_rx_aggregation_subframes: maximal amount of frames in a single AMPDU
2133 * that this station is allowed to transmit to us.
2134 * Can be modified by driver.

2136 * otherwise always false)
2137 * @drv_priv: data area for driver use, will always be aligned to
2138 * sizeof(void \*), size is determined in hw information.

2146 * @tdls_initiator: indicates the STA is an initiator of the TDLS link. Only
2147 * valid if the STA is a TDLS peer in the first place.
2148 * @mfp: indicates whether the STA uses management frame protection or not.
2149 * @max_amsdu_subframes: indicates the maximal number of MSDUs in a single
2150 * A-MSDU. Taken from the Extended Capabilities element. 0 means
2152 * @support_p2p_ps: indicates whether the STA supports P2P PS mechanism or not.
2153 * @max_rc_amsdu_len: Maximum A-MSDU size in bytes recommended by rate control.
2154 * @max_tid_amsdu_len: Maximum A-MSDU size in bytes for this TID
2155 * @txq: per-TID data TX queues (if driver uses the TXQ abstraction); note that
2156 * the last entry (%IEEE80211_NUM_TIDS) is used for non-data frames
2157 * @multi_link_sta: Identifies if this sta is a MLD STA
2158 * @deflink: This holds the default link STA information, for non MLO STA all link
2159 * specific STA information is accessed through @deflink or through
2160 * link[0] which points to address of @deflink. For MLO Link STA
2161 * the first added link STA will point to deflink.
2162 * @link: reference to Link Sta entries. For Non MLO STA, except 1st link,
2163 * i.e link[0] all links would be assigned to NULL by default and
2164 * would access link information via @deflink or link[0]. For MLO
2165 * STA, first link STA being added will point its link pointer to
2166 * @deflink address and remaining would be allocated and the address
2167 * would be assigned to link[link_id] where link_id is the id assigned

2272 * should be instantiated, and the TX rate reported to userspace
2273 * will be taken from the TX status instead of the rate control

2286 * @IEEE80211_HW_HOST_BROADCAST_PS_BUFFERING:
2287 * Some wireless LAN chipsets buffer broadcast/multicast frames
2288 * for power saving stations in the hardware/firmware and others
2289 * rely on the host system for such buffering. This option is used
2290 * to configure the IEEE 802.11 upper layer to buffer broadcast and

2292 * the driver can fetch them with ieee80211_get_buffered_bc().
2294 * @IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_UNSPEC:
2295 * Hardware can provide signal values but we don't know its units. We
2296 * expect values between 0 and @max_signal.
2297 * If possible please provide dB or dBm instead.
2299 * @IEEE80211_HW_SIGNAL_DBM:
2300 * Hardware gives signal values in dBm, decibel difference from
2301 * one milliwatt. This is the preferred method since it is standardized
2302 * between different devices. @max_signal does not need to be set.
2304 * @IEEE80211_HW_SPECTRUM_MGMT:
2305 * Hardware supports spectrum management defined in 802.11h
2306 * Measurement, Channel Switch, Quieting, TPC
2308 * @IEEE80211_HW_AMPDU_AGGREGATION:
2309 * Hardware supports 11n A-MPDU aggregation.
2311 * @IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_PS:
2312 * Hardware has power save support (i.e. can go to sleep).
2314 * @IEEE80211_HW_PS_NULLFUNC_STACK:
2315 * Hardware requires nullfunc frame handling in stack, implies
2316 * stack support for dynamic PS.
2318 * @IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_DYNAMIC_PS:
2319 * Hardware has support for dynamic PS.
2321 * @IEEE80211_HW_MFP_CAPABLE:

2330 * periodic keep-alives to the AP and probing the AP on beacon loss.

2333 * This device needs to get data from beacon before association (i.e.
2336 * @IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_PER_STA_GTK: The device's crypto engine supports
2337 * per-station GTKs as used by IBSS RSN or during fast transition. If
2338 * the device doesn't support per-station GTKs, but can be asked not
2339 * to decrypt group addressed frames, then IBSS RSN support is still
2340 * possible but software crypto will be used. Advertise the wiphy flag
2341 * only in that case.
2343 * @IEEE80211_HW_AP_LINK_PS: When operating in AP mode the device
2344 * autonomously manages the PS status of connected stations. When
2345 * this flag is set mac80211 will not trigger PS mode for connected
2346 * stations based on the PM bit of incoming frames.
2347 * Use ieee80211_start_ps()/ieee8021_end_ps() to manually configure
2348 * the PS mode of connected stations.
2350 * @IEEE80211_HW_TX_AMPDU_SETUP_IN_HW: The device handles TX A-MPDU session
2351 * setup strictly in HW. mac80211 should not attempt to do this in
2354 * @IEEE80211_HW_WANT_MONITOR_VIF: The driver would like to be informed of
2355 * a virtual monitor interface when monitor interfaces are the only
2356 * active interfaces.
2358 * @IEEE80211_HW_NO_AUTO_VIF: The driver would like for no wlanX to
2359 * be created. It is expected user-space will create vifs as
2360 * desired (and thus have them named as desired).
2362 * @IEEE80211_HW_SW_CRYPTO_CONTROL: The driver wants to control which of the
2363 * crypto algorithms can be done in software - so don't automatically
2364 * try to fall back to it if hardware crypto fails, but do so only if
2365 * the driver returns 1. This also forces the driver to advertise its
2366 * supported cipher suites.
2368 * @IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORT_FAST_XMIT: The driver/hardware supports fast-xmit,
2369 * this currently requires only the ability to calculate the duration
2372 * @IEEE80211_HW_QUEUE_CONTROL: The driver wants to control per-interface
2373 * queue mapping in order to use different queues (not just one per AC)
2374 * for different virtual interfaces. See the doc section on HW queue
2375 * control for more details.
2377 * @IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_RC_TABLE: The driver supports using a rate
2378 * selection table provided by the rate control algorithm.
2380 * @IEEE80211_HW_P2P_DEV_ADDR_FOR_INTF: Use the P2P Device address for any
2381 * P2P Interface. This will be honoured even if more than one interface
2384 * @IEEE80211_HW_TIMING_BEACON_ONLY: Use sync timing from beacon frames
2385 * only, to allow getting TBTT of a DTIM beacon.
2387 * @IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_HT_CCK_RATES: Hardware supports mixing HT/CCK rates
2388 * and can cope with CCK rates in an aggregation session (e.g. by not
2389 * using aggregation for such frames.)
2391 * @IEEE80211_HW_CHANCTX_STA_CSA: Support 802.11h based channel-switch (CSA)
2392 * for a single active channel while using channel contexts. When support
2393 * is not enabled the default action is to disconnect when getting the
2396 * @IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_CLONED_SKBS: The driver will never modify the payload
2397 * or tailroom of TX skbs without copying them first.
2399 * @IEEE80211_HW_SINGLE_SCAN_ON_ALL_BANDS: The HW supports scanning on all bands
2400 * in one command, mac80211 doesn't have to run separate scans per band.
2402 * @IEEE80211_HW_TDLS_WIDER_BW: The device/driver supports wider bandwidth
2403 * than then BSS bandwidth for a TDLS link on the base channel.
2405 * @IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_AMSDU_IN_AMPDU: The driver supports receiving A-MSDUs
2408 * @IEEE80211_HW_BEACON_TX_STATUS: The device/driver provides TX status
2411 * @IEEE80211_HW_NEEDS_UNIQUE_STA_ADDR: Hardware (or driver) requires that each
2412 * station has a unique address, i.e. each station entry can be identified
2413 * by just its MAC address; this prevents, for example, the same station
2414 * from connecting to two virtual AP interfaces at the same time.
2416 * @IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_REORDERING_BUFFER: Hardware (or driver) manages the
2417 * reordering buffer internally, guaranteeing mac80211 receives frames in
2418 * order and does not need to manage its own reorder buffer or BA session
2421 * @IEEE80211_HW_USES_RSS: The device uses RSS and thus requires parallel RX,
2422 * which implies using per-CPU station statistics.
2424 * @IEEE80211_HW_TX_AMSDU: Hardware (or driver) supports software aggregated
2425 * A-MSDU frames. Requires software tx queueing and fast-xmit support.
2426 * When not using minstrel/minstrel_ht rate control, the driver must
2427 * limit the maximum A-MSDU size based on the current tx rate by setting
2428 * max_rc_amsdu_len in struct ieee80211_sta.
2430 * @IEEE80211_HW_TX_FRAG_LIST: Hardware (or driver) supports sending frag_list
2431 * skbs, needed for zero-copy software A-MSDU.
2433 * @IEEE80211_HW_REPORTS_LOW_ACK: The driver (or firmware) reports low ack event
2434 * by ieee80211_report_low_ack() based on its own algorithm. For such
2435 * drivers, mac80211 packet loss mechanism will not be triggered and driver
2436 * is completely depending on firmware event for station kickout.
2438 * @IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_TX_FRAG: Hardware does fragmentation by itself.
2439 * The stack will not do fragmentation.
2440 * The callback for @set_frag_threshold should be set as well.
2442 * @IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_TDLS_BUFFER_STA: Hardware supports buffer STA on
2445 * @IEEE80211_HW_DEAUTH_NEED_MGD_TX_PREP: The driver requires the
2446 * mgd_prepare_tx() callback to be called before transmission of a
2447 * deauthentication frame in case the association was completed but no
2448 * beacon was heard. This is required in multi-channel scenarios, where the
2449 * virtual interface might not be given air time for the transmission of
2450 * the frame, as it is not synced with the AP/P2P GO yet, and thus the
2451 * deauthentication frame might not be transmitted.
2453 * @IEEE80211_HW_DOESNT_SUPPORT_QOS_NDP: The driver (or firmware) doesn't
2454 * support QoS NDP for AP probing - that's most likely a driver bug.
2456 * @IEEE80211_HW_BUFF_MMPDU_TXQ: use the TXQ for bufferable MMPDUs, this of
2457 * course requires the driver to use TXQs to start with.
2459 * @IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_VHT_EXT_NSS_BW: (Hardware) rate control supports VHT
2460 * extended NSS BW (dot11VHTExtendedNSSBWCapable). This flag will be set if
2461 * the selected rate control algorithm sets %RATE_CTRL_CAPA_VHT_EXT_NSS_BW
2462 * but if the rate control is built-in then it must be set by the driver.
2463 * See also the documentation for that flag.
2465 * @IEEE80211_HW_STA_MMPDU_TXQ: use the extra non-TID per-station TXQ for all
2466 * MMPDUs on station interfaces. This of course requires the driver to use
2467 * TXQs to start with.
2469 * @IEEE80211_HW_TX_STATUS_NO_AMPDU_LEN: Driver does not report accurate A-MPDU
2470 * length in tx status information
2472 * @IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_MULTI_BSSID: Hardware supports multi BSSID
2474 * @IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_ONLY_HE_MULTI_BSSID: Hardware supports multi BSSID
2475 * only for HE APs. Applies if @IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_MULTI_BSSID is set.
2477 * @IEEE80211_HW_AMPDU_KEYBORDER_SUPPORT: The card and driver is only
2478 * aggregating MPDUs with the same keyid, allowing mac80211 to keep Tx
2479 * A-MPDU sessions active while rekeying with Extended Key ID.
2481 * @IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_TX_ENCAP_OFFLOAD: Hardware supports tx encapsulation
2484 * @IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_RX_DECAP_OFFLOAD: Hardware supports rx decapsulation
2487 * @IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_CONC_MON_RX_DECAP: Hardware supports concurrent rx
2488 * decapsulation offload and passing raw 802.11 frames for monitor iface.

2490 * usage and 802.11 frames with %RX_FLAG_ONLY_MONITOR set for monitor to

2856 * DOC: Hardware crypto acceleration
2858 * mac80211 is capable of taking advantage of many hardware
2859 * acceleration designs for encryption and decryption operations.
2861 * The set_key() callback in the &struct ieee80211_ops for a given
2862 * device is called to enable hardware acceleration of encryption and
2863 * decryption. The callback takes a @sta parameter that will be NULL
2864 * for default keys or keys used for transmission only, or point to
2865 * the station information for the peer for individual keys.
2866 * Multiple transmission keys with the same key index may be used when
2867 * VLANs are configured for an access point.
2869 * When transmitting, the TX control data will use the @hw_key_idx
2870 * selected by the driver by modifying the &struct ieee80211_key_conf
2871 * pointed to by the @key parameter to the set_key() function.
2873 * The set_key() call for the %SET_KEY command should return 0 if
2874 * the key is now in use, -%EOPNOTSUPP or -%ENOSPC if it couldn't be
2875 * added; if you return 0 then hw_key_idx must be assigned to the
2876 * hardware key index, you are free to use the full u8 range.
2878 * Note that in the case that the @IEEE80211_HW_SW_CRYPTO_CONTROL flag is
2879 * set, mac80211 will not automatically fall back to software crypto if
2880 * enabling hardware crypto failed. The set_key() call may also return the
2881 * value 1 to permit this specific key/algorithm to be done in software.
2883 * When the cmd is %DISABLE_KEY then it must succeed.
2885 * Note that it is permissible to not decrypt a frame even if a key
2886 * for it has been uploaded to hardware, the stack will not make any
2887 * decision based on whether a key has been uploaded or not but rather
2888 * based on the receive flags.
2890 * The &struct ieee80211_key_conf structure pointed to by the @key
2891 * parameter is guaranteed to be valid until another call to set_key()
2892 * removes it, but it can only be used as a cookie to differentiate
2895 * In TKIP some HW need to be provided a phase 1 key, for RX decryption
2896 * acceleration (i.e. iwlwifi). Those drivers should provide update_tkip_key
2898 * The update_tkip_key() call updates the driver with the new phase 1 key.
2899 * This happens every time the iv16 wraps around (every 65536 packets). The
2900 * set_key() call will happen only once for each key (unless the AP did
2901 * rekeying), it will not include a valid phase 1 key. The valid phase 1 key is
2902 * provided by update_tkip_key only. The trigger that makes mac80211 call this
2903 * handler is software decryption with wrap around of iv16.
2905 * The set_default_unicast_key() call updates the default WEP key index
2906 * configured to the hardware for WEP encryption type. This is required
2907 * for devices that support offload of data packets (e.g. ARP responses).
2909 * Mac80211 drivers should set the @NL80211_EXT_FEATURE_CAN_REPLACE_PTK0 flag
2910 * when they are able to replace in-use PTK keys according to the following
2912 * 1) They do not hand over frames decrypted with the old key to mac80211
2913 once the call to set_key() with command %DISABLE_KEY has been completed,
2914 2) either drop or continue to use the old key for any outgoing frames queued
2915 at the time of the key deletion (including re-transmits),
2916 3) never send out a frame queued prior to the set_key() %SET_KEY command
2917 encrypted with the new key when also needing
2918 @IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_GENERATE_IV and
2919 4) never send out a frame unencrypted when it should be encrypted.
2920 Mac80211 will not queue any new frames for a deleted key to the driver.
2924 * DOC: Powersave support
2926 * mac80211 has support for various powersave implementations.
2928 * First, it can support hardware that handles all powersaving by itself,
2929 * such hardware should simply set the %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_PS hardware
2930 * flag. In that case, it will be told about the desired powersave mode
2931 * with the %IEEE80211_CONF_PS flag depending on the association status.
2932 * The hardware must take care of sending nullfunc frames when necessary,
2933 * i.e. when entering and leaving powersave mode. The hardware is required
2934 * to look at the AID in beacons and signal to the AP that it woke up when
2935 * it finds traffic directed to it.
2937 * %IEEE80211_CONF_PS flag enabled means that the powersave mode defined in
2938 * IEEE 802.11-2007 section 11.2 is enabled. This is not to be confused
2939 * with hardware wakeup and sleep states. Driver is responsible for waking
2940 * up the hardware before issuing commands to the hardware and putting it
2941 * back to sleep at appropriate times.
2943 * When PS is enabled, hardware needs to wakeup for beacons and receive the
2944 * buffered multicast/broadcast frames after the beacon. Also it must be
2945 * possible to send frames and receive the acknowledment frame.
2947 * Other hardware designs cannot send nullfunc frames by themselves and also
2948 * need software support for parsing the TIM bitmap. This is also supported
2949 * by mac80211 by combining the %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_PS and
2950 * %IEEE80211_HW_PS_NULLFUNC_STACK flags. The hardware is of course still
2951 * required to pass up beacons. The hardware is still required to handle
2952 * waking up for multicast traffic; if it cannot the driver must handle that
2953 * as best as it can, mac80211 is too slow to do that.
2955 * Dynamic powersave is an extension to normal powersave in which the
2956 * hardware stays awake for a user-specified period of time after sending a
2957 * frame so that reply frames need not be buffered and therefore delayed to
2958 * the next wakeup. It's compromise of getting good enough latency when
2959 * there's data traffic and still saving significantly power in idle
2962 * Dynamic powersave is simply supported by mac80211 enabling and disabling
2963 * PS based on traffic. Driver needs to only set %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_PS
2964 * flag and mac80211 will handle everything automatically. Additionally,
2965 * hardware having support for the dynamic PS feature may set the
2966 * %IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_DYNAMIC_PS flag to indicate that it can support
2967 * dynamic PS mode itself. The driver needs to look at the
2968 * @dynamic_ps_timeout hardware configuration value and use it that value
2969 * whenever %IEEE80211_CONF_PS is set. In this case mac80211 will disable
2970 * dynamic PS feature in stack and will just keep %IEEE80211_CONF_PS
2971 * enabled whenever user has enabled powersave.
2973 * Driver informs U-APSD client support by enabling
2974 * %IEEE80211_VIF_SUPPORTS_UAPSD flag. The mode is configured through the
2975 * uapsd parameter in conf_tx() operation. Hardware needs to send the QoS
2976 * Nullfunc frames and stay awake until the service period has ended. To
2977 * utilize U-APSD, dynamic powersave is disabled for voip AC and all frames
2978 * from that AC are transmitted with powersave enabled.
2980 * Note: U-APSD client mode is not yet supported with
2981 * %IEEE80211_HW_PS_NULLFUNC_STACK.
2985 * DOC: Beacon filter support
2987 * Some hardware have beacon filter support to reduce host cpu wakeups
2988 * which will reduce system power consumption. It usually works so that
2989 * the firmware creates a checksum of the beacon but omits all constantly
2990 * changing elements (TSF, TIM etc). Whenever the checksum changes the
2991 * beacon is forwarded to the host, otherwise it will be just dropped. That
2992 * way the host will only receive beacons where some relevant information
2993 * (for example ERP protection or WMM settings) have changed.
2995 * Beacon filter support is advertised with the %IEEE80211_VIF_BEACON_FILTER
2996 * interface capability. The driver needs to enable beacon filter support
2997 * whenever power save is enabled, that is %IEEE80211_CONF_PS is set. When
2998 * power save is enabled, the stack will not check for beacon loss and the
2999 * driver needs to notify about loss of beacons with ieee80211_beacon_loss().
3001 * The time (or number of beacons missed) until the firmware notifies the
3002 * driver of a beacon loss event (which in turn causes the driver to call
3003 * ieee80211_beacon_loss()) should be configurable and will be controlled
3004 * by mac80211 and the roaming algorithm in the future.
3006 * Since there may be constantly changing information elements that nothing
3007 * in the software stack cares about, we will, in the future, have mac80211
3008 * tell the driver which information elements are interesting in the sense
3009 * that we want to see changes in them. This will include
3011 * - a list of information element IDs
3012 * - a list of OUIs for the vendor information element
3014 * Ideally, the hardware would filter out any beacons without changes in the
3015 * requested elements, but if it cannot support that it may, at the expense
3016 * of some efficiency, filter out only a subset. For example, if the device
3017 * doesn't support checking for OUIs it should pass up all changes in all
3018 * vendor information elements.
3020 * Note that change, for the sake of simplification, also includes information
3021 * elements appearing or disappearing from the beacon.
3023 * Some hardware supports an "ignore list" instead, just make sure nothing
3024 * that was requested is on the ignore list, and include commonly changing
3025 * information element IDs in the ignore list, for example 11 (BSS load) and
3026 * the various vendor-assigned IEs with unknown contents (128, 129, 133-136,
3027 * 149, 150, 155, 156, 173, 176, 178, 179, 219); for forward compatibility
3028 * it could also include some currently unused IDs.
3031 * In addition to these capabilities, hardware should support notifying the
3032 * host of changes in the beacon RSSI. This is relevant to implement roaming
3033 * when no traffic is flowing (when traffic is flowing we see the RSSI of
3034 * the received data packets). This can consist in notifying the host when
3035 * the RSSI changes significantly or when it drops below or rises above
3036 * configurable thresholds. In the future these thresholds will also be
3037 * configured by mac80211 (which gets them from userspace) to implement
3038 * them as the roaming algorithm requires.
3040 * If the hardware cannot implement this, the driver should ask it to
3041 * periodically pass beacon frames to the host so that software can do the
3042 * signal strength threshold checking.
3046 * DOC: Spatial multiplexing power save
3048 * SMPS (Spatial multiplexing power save) is a mechanism to conserve
3049 * power in an 802.11n implementation. For details on the mechanism
3050 * and rationale, please refer to 802.11 (as amended by 802.11n-2009)
3051 * "11.2.3 SM power save".
3053 * The mac80211 implementation is capable of sending action frames
3054 * to update the AP about the station's SMPS mode, and will instruct
3055 * the driver to enter the specific mode. It will also announce the
3056 * requested SMPS mode during the association handshake. Hardware
3057 * support for this feature is required, and can be indicated by
3060 * The default mode will be "automatic", which nl80211/cfg80211
3061 * defines to be dynamic SMPS in (regular) powersave, and SMPS
3062 * turned off otherwise.
3064 * To support this feature, the driver must set the appropriate
3065 * hardware support flags, and handle the SMPS flag to the config()
3066 * operation. It will then with this mechanism be instructed to
3067 * enter the requested SMPS mode while associated to an HT AP.
3071 * DOC: Frame filtering
3073 * mac80211 requires to see many management frames for proper
3074 * operation, and users may want to see many more frames when
3075 * in monitor mode. However, for best CPU usage and power consumption,
3076 * having as few frames as possible percolate through the stack is
3077 * desirable. Hence, the hardware should filter as much as possible.
3079 * To achieve this, mac80211 uses filter flags (see below) to tell
3080 * the driver's configure_filter() function which frames should be
3081 * passed to mac80211 and which should be filtered out.
3083 * Before configure_filter() is invoked, the prepare_multicast()
3084 * callback is invoked with the parameters @mc_count and @mc_list
3085 * for the combined multicast address list of all virtual interfaces.
3086 * It's use is optional, and it returns a u64 that is passed to
3087 * configure_filter(). Additionally, configure_filter() has the
3088 * arguments @changed_flags telling which flags were changed and
3089 * @total_flags with the new flag states.
3091 * If your device has no multicast address filters your driver will
3092 * need to check both the %FIF_ALLMULTI flag and the @mc_count
3093 * parameter to see whether multicast frames should be accepted
3096 * All unsupported flags in @total_flags must be cleared.
3097 * Hardware does not support a flag if it is incapable of _passing_
3098 * the frame to the stack. Otherwise the driver must ignore
3099 * the flag, but not clear it.
3100 * You must _only_ clear the flag (announce no support for the
3101 * flag to mac80211) if you are not able to pass the packet type
3102 * to the stack (so the hardware always filters it).
3103 * So for example, you should clear @FIF_CONTROL, if your hardware
3104 * always filters control frames. If your hardware always passes
3105 * control frames to the kernel and is incapable of filtering them,
3106 * you do _not_ clear the @FIF_CONTROL flag.
3107 * This rule applies to all other FIF flags as well.
3111 * DOC: AP support for powersaving clients
3113 * In order to implement AP and P2P GO modes, mac80211 has support for
3114 * client powersaving, both "legacy" PS (PS-Poll/null data) and uAPSD.
3115 * There currently is no support for sAPSD.
3117 * There is one assumption that mac80211 makes, namely that a client
3118 * will not poll with PS-Poll and trigger with uAPSD at the same time.
3119 * Both are supported, and both can be used by the same client, but
3120 * they can't be used concurrently by the same client. This simplifies
3123 * The first thing to keep in mind is that there is a flag for complete
3124 * driver implementation: %IEEE80211_HW_AP_LINK_PS. If this flag is set,
3125 * mac80211 expects the driver to handle most of the state machine for
3126 * powersaving clients and will ignore the PM bit in incoming frames.
3127 * Drivers then use ieee80211_sta_ps_transition() to inform mac80211 of
3128 * stations' powersave transitions. In this mode, mac80211 also doesn't
3129 * handle PS-Poll/uAPSD.
3131 * In the mode without %IEEE80211_HW_AP_LINK_PS, mac80211 will check the
3132 * PM bit in incoming frames for client powersave transitions. When a
3133 * station goes to sleep, we will stop transmitting to it. There is,
3134 * however, a race condition: a station might go to sleep while there is
3135 * data buffered on hardware queues. If the device has support for this
3136 * it will reject frames, and the driver should give the frames back to
3137 * mac80211 with the %IEEE80211_TX_STAT_TX_FILTERED flag set which will
3138 * cause mac80211 to retry the frame when the station wakes up. The
3139 * driver is also notified of powersave transitions by calling its
3140 * @sta_notify callback.
3142 * When the station is asleep, it has three choices: it can wake up,
3143 * it can PS-Poll, or it can possibly start a uAPSD service period.
3144 * Waking up is implemented by simply transmitting all buffered (and
3145 * filtered) frames to the station. This is the easiest case. When
3146 * the station sends a PS-Poll or a uAPSD trigger frame, mac80211
3147 * will inform the driver of this with the @allow_buffered_frames
3148 * callback; this callback is optional. mac80211 will then transmit
3149 * the frames as usual and set the %IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_PS_BUFFER
3150 * on each frame. The last frame in the service period (or the only
3151 * response to a PS-Poll) also has %IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP set to
3152 * indicate that it ends the service period; as this frame must have
3153 * TX status report it also sets %IEEE80211_TX_CTL_REQ_TX_STATUS.
3154 * When TX status is reported for this frame, the service period is
3155 * marked has having ended and a new one can be started by the peer.
3157 * Additionally, non-bufferable MMPDUs can also be transmitted by
3158 * mac80211 with the %IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_PS_BUFFER set in them.
3160 * Another race condition can happen on some devices like iwlwifi
3161 * when there are frames queued for the station and it wakes up
3162 * or polls; the frames that are already queued could end up being
3163 * transmitted first instead, causing reordering and/or wrong
3164 * processing of the EOSP. The cause is that allowing frames to be
3165 * transmitted to a certain station is out-of-band communication to
3166 * the device. To allow this problem to be solved, the driver can
3167 * call ieee80211_sta_block_awake() if frames are buffered when it
3168 * is notified that the station went to sleep. When all these frames
3169 * have been filtered (see above), it must call the function again
3170 * to indicate that the station is no longer blocked.
3172 * If the driver buffers frames in the driver for aggregation in any
3173 * way, it must use the ieee80211_sta_set_buffered() call when it is
3174 * notified of the station going to sleep to inform mac80211 of any
3175 * TIDs that have frames buffered. Note that when a station wakes up
3176 * this information is reset (hence the requirement to call it when
3177 * informed of the station going to sleep). Then, when a service
3178 * period starts for any reason, @release_buffered_frames is called
3179 * with the number of frames to be released and which TIDs they are
3180 * to come from. In this case, the driver is responsible for setting
3181 * the EOSP (for uAPSD) and MORE_DATA bits in the released frames,
3182 * to help the @more_data parameter is passed to tell the driver if
3183 * there is more data on other TIDs -- the TIDs to release frames
3184 * from are ignored since mac80211 doesn't know how many frames the
3185 * buffers for those TIDs contain.
3187 * If the driver also implement GO mode, where absence periods may
3188 * shorten service periods (or abort PS-Poll responses), it must
3189 * filter those response frames except in the case of frames that
3190 * are buffered in the driver -- those must remain buffered to avoid
3191 * reordering. Because it is possible that no frames are released
3192 * in this case, the driver must call ieee80211_sta_eosp()
3193 * to indicate to mac80211 that the service period ended anyway.
3195 * Finally, if frames from multiple TIDs are released from mac80211
3196 * but the driver might reorder them, it must clear & set the flags
3197 * appropriately (only the last frame may have %IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP)
3198 * and also take care of the EOSP and MORE_DATA bits in the frame.
3199 * The driver may also use ieee80211_sta_eosp() in this case.
3201 * Note that if the driver ever buffers frames other than QoS-data
3202 * frames, it must take care to never send a non-QoS-data frame as
3203 * the last frame in a service period, adding a QoS-nulldata frame
3204 * after a non-QoS-data frame if needed.
3208 * DOC: HW queue control
3210 * Before HW queue control was introduced, mac80211 only had a single static
3211 * assignment of per-interface AC software queues to hardware queues. This
3212 * was problematic for a few reasons:
3213 * 1) off-channel transmissions might get stuck behind other frames
3214 * 2) multiple virtual interfaces couldn't be handled correctly
3215 * 3) after-DTIM frames could get stuck behind other frames
3217 * To solve this, hardware typically uses multiple different queues for all
3218 * the different usages, and this needs to be propagated into mac80211 so it
3219 * won't have the same problem with the software queues.
3221 * Therefore, mac80211 now offers the %IEEE80211_HW_QUEUE_CONTROL capability
3222 * flag that tells it that the driver implements its own queue control. To do
3223 * so, the driver will set up the various queues in each &struct ieee80211_vif
3224 * and the offchannel queue in &struct ieee80211_hw. In response, mac80211 will
3225 * use those queue IDs in the hw_queue field of &struct ieee80211_tx_info and
3226 * if necessary will queue the frame on the right software queue that mirrors
3227 * the hardware queue.
3228 * Additionally, the driver has to then use these HW queue IDs for the queue
3229 * management functions (ieee80211_stop_queue() et al.)
3231 * The driver is free to set up the queue mappings as needed, multiple virtual
3232 * interfaces may map to the same hardware queues if needed. The setup has to
3233 * happen during add_interface or change_interface callbacks. For example, a
3234 * driver supporting station+station and station+AP modes might decide to have
3235 * 10 hardware queues to handle different scenarios:
3237 * 4 AC HW queues for 1st vif: 0, 1, 2, 3
3238 * 4 AC HW queues for 2nd vif: 4, 5, 6, 7
3239 * after-DTIM queue for AP: 8
3240 * off-channel queue: 9
3242 * It would then set up the hardware like this:
3243 * hw.offchannel_tx_hw_queue = 9
3245 * and the first virtual interface that is added as follows:
3246 * vif.hw_queue[IEEE80211_AC_VO] = 0
3247 * vif.hw_queue[IEEE80211_AC_VI] = 1
3248 * vif.hw_queue[IEEE80211_AC_BE] = 2
3249 * vif.hw_queue[IEEE80211_AC_BK] = 3
3250 * vif.cab_queue = 8 // if AP mode, otherwise %IEEE80211_INVAL_HW_QUEUE
3251 * and the second virtual interface with 4-7.
3253 * If queue 6 gets full, for example, mac80211 would only stop the second
3254 * virtual interface's BE queue since virtual interface queues are per AC.
3256 * Note that the vif.cab_queue value should be set to %IEEE80211_INVAL_HW_QUEUE
3257 * whenever the queue is not used (i.e. the interface is not in AP mode) if the
3258 * queue could potentially be shared since mac80211 will look at cab_queue when
3259 * a queue is stopped/woken even if the interface is not in AP mode.
3263 * enum ieee80211_filter_flags - hardware filter flags
3265 * These flags determine what the filter in hardware should be
3266 * programmed to let through and what should not be passed to the
3267 * stack. It is always safe to pass more frames than requested,
3268 * but this has negative impact on power consumption.
3270 * @FIF_ALLMULTI: pass all multicast frames, this is used if requested
3271 * by the user or if the hardware is not capable of filtering by
3272 * multicast address.
3274 * @FIF_FCSFAIL: pass frames with failed FCS (but you need to set the
3275 * %RX_FLAG_FAILED_FCS_CRC for them)
3277 * @FIF_PLCPFAIL: pass frames with failed PLCP CRC (but you need to set
3278 * the %RX_FLAG_FAILED_PLCP_CRC for them
3280 * @FIF_BCN_PRBRESP_PROMISC: This flag is set during scanning to indicate
3281 * to the hardware that it should not filter beacons or probe responses
3282 * by BSSID. Filtering them can greatly reduce the amount of processing
3283 * mac80211 needs to do and the amount of CPU wakeups, so you should
3284 * honour this flag if possible.

3465 * This structure contains various callbacks that the driver may
3466 * handle or, in some cases, must handle, for example to configure
3467 * the hardware to a new channel or to transmit a frame.
3469 * @tx: Handler that 802.11 module calls for each transmitted frame.
3470 * skb contains the buffer starting from the IEEE 802.11 header.
3471 * The low-level driver should send the frame out based on
3472 * configuration in the TX control data. This handler should,
3473 * preferably, never fail and stop queues appropriately.
3476 * @start: Called before the first netdevice attached to the hardware
3477 * is enabled. This should turn on the hardware and must turn on
3478 * frame reception (for possibly enabled monitor interfaces.)
3479 * Returns negative error codes, these may be seen in userspace,
3481 * When the device is started it should not have a MAC address
3482 * to avoid acknowledging frames before a non-monitor device
3484 * Must be implemented and can sleep.
3486 * @stop: Called after last netdevice attached to the hardware
3487 * is disabled. This should turn off the hardware (at least
3488 * it must turn off frame reception.)
3489 * May be called right after add_interface if that rejects
3490 * an interface. If you added any work onto the mac80211 workqueue
3491 * you should ensure to cancel it on this callback.
3492 * Must be implemented and can sleep.
3494 * @suspend: Suspend the device; mac80211 itself will quiesce before and
3495 * stop transmitting and doing any other configuration, and then
3496 * ask the device to suspend. This is only invoked when WoWLAN is
3497 * configured, otherwise the device is deconfigured completely and
3498 * reconfigured at resume time.
3499 * The driver may also impose special conditions under which it
3500 * wants to use the "normal" suspend (deconfigure), say if it only
3501 * supports WoWLAN when the device is associated. In this case, it
3502 * must return 1 from this function.
3504 * @resume: If WoWLAN was configured, this indicates that mac80211 is
3505 * now resuming its operation, after this the device must be fully
3506 * functional again. If this returns an error, the only way out is
3507 * to also unregister the device. If it returns 1, then mac80211
3508 * will also go through the regular complete restart on resume.
3510 * @set_wakeup: Enable or disable wakeup when WoWLAN configuration is
3511 * modified. The reason is that device_set_wakeup_enable() is
3512 * supposed to be called when the configuration changes, not only
3515 * @add_interface: Called when a netdevice attached to the hardware is
3516 * enabled. Because it is not called for monitor mode devices, @start
3517 * and @stop must be implemented.
3518 * The driver should perform any initialization it needs before
3519 * the device can be enabled. The initial configuration for the
3520 * interface is given in the conf parameter.
3521 * The callback may refuse to add an interface by returning a
3522 * negative error code (which will be seen in userspace.)
3523 * Must be implemented and can sleep.
3525 * @change_interface: Called when a netdevice changes type. This callback
3526 * is optional, but only if it is supported can interface types be
3527 * switched while the interface is UP. The callback may sleep.
3528 * Note that while an interface is being switched, it will not be
3529 * found by the interface iteration callbacks.
3531 * @remove_interface: Notifies a driver that an interface is going down.
3532 * The @stop callback is called after this if it is the last interface
3533 * and no monitor interfaces are present.
3534 * When all interfaces are removed, the MAC address in the hardware
3535 * must be cleared so the device no longer acknowledges packets,
3536 * the mac_addr member of the conf structure is, however, set to the
3537 * MAC address of the device going away.
3538 * Hence, this callback must be implemented. It can sleep.
3540 * @config: Handler for configuration requests. IEEE 802.11 code calls this
3541 * function to change hardware configuration, e.g., channel.
3542 * This function should never fail but returns a negative error code
3543 * if it does. The callback can sleep.
3545 * @bss_info_changed: Handler for configuration requests related to BSS
3546 * parameters that may vary during BSS's lifespan, and may affect low
3547 * level driver (e.g. assoc/disassoc status, erp parameters).
3548 * This function should not be used if no BSS has been set, unless
3549 * for association indication. The @changed parameter indicates which
3550 * of the bss parameters has changed when a call is made. The callback
3553 * @prepare_multicast: Prepare for multicast filter configuration.
3554 * This callback is optional, and its return value is passed
3555 * to configure_filter(). This callback must be atomic.
3557 * @configure_filter: Configure the device's RX filter.
3558 * See the section "Frame filtering" for more information.
3559 * This callback must be implemented and can sleep.
3561 * @config_iface_filter: Configure the interface's RX filter.
3562 * This callback is optional and is used to configure which frames
3563 * should be passed to mac80211. The filter_flags is the combination
3564 * of FIF_* flags. The changed_flags is a bit mask that indicates
3565 * which flags are changed.
3566 * This callback can sleep.
3568 * @set_tim: Set TIM bit. mac80211 calls this function when a TIM bit
3569 * must be set or cleared for a given STA. Must be atomic.
3571 * @set_key: See the section "Hardware crypto acceleration"
3572 * This callback is only called between add_interface and
3573 * remove_interface calls, i.e. while the given virtual interface
3575 * Returns a negative error code if the key can't be added.
3576 * The callback can sleep.
3578 * @update_tkip_key: See the section "Hardware crypto acceleration"
3579 * This callback will be called in the context of Rx. Called for drivers
3580 * which set IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_TKIP_REQ_RX_P1_KEY.
3581 * The callback must be atomic.
3583 * @set_rekey_data: If the device supports GTK rekeying, for example while the
3584 * host is suspended, it can assign this callback to retrieve the data
3585 * necessary to do GTK rekeying, this is the KEK, KCK and replay counter.
3586 * After rekeying was done it should (for example during resume) notify
3587 * userspace of the new replay counter using ieee80211_gtk_rekey_notify().
3589 * @set_default_unicast_key: Set the default (unicast) key index, useful for
3590 * WEP when the device sends data packets autonomously, e.g. for ARP
3591 * offloading. The index can be 0-3, or -1 for unsetting it.
3593 * @hw_scan: Ask the hardware to service the scan request, no need to start
3594 * the scan state machine in stack. The scan must honour the channel
3595 * configuration done by the regulatory agent in the wiphy's
3596 * registered bands. The hardware (or the driver) needs to make sure
3597 * that power save is disabled.
3598 * The @req ie/ie_len members are rewritten by mac80211 to contain the
3599 * entire IEs after the SSID, so that drivers need not look at these
3600 * at all but just send them after the SSID -- mac80211 includes the
3601 * (extended) supported rates and HT information (where applicable).
3602 * When the scan finishes, ieee80211_scan_completed() must be called;
3603 * note that it also must be called when the scan cannot finish due to
3604 * any error unless this callback returned a negative error code.
3605 * This callback is also allowed to return the special return value 1,
3606 * this indicates that hardware scan isn't desirable right now and a
3607 * software scan should be done instead. A driver wishing to use this
3608 * capability must ensure its (hardware) scan capabilities aren't
3609 * advertised as more capable than mac80211's software scan is.
3610 * The callback can sleep.
3612 * @cancel_hw_scan: Ask the low-level tp cancel the active hw scan.
3613 * The driver should ask the hardware to cancel the scan (if possible),
3614 * but the scan will be completed only after the driver will call
3615 * ieee80211_scan_completed().
3616 * This callback is needed for wowlan, to prevent enqueueing a new
3617 * scan_work after the low-level driver was already suspended.
3618 * The callback can sleep.
3620 * @sched_scan_start: Ask the hardware to start scanning repeatedly at
3621 * specific intervals. The driver must call the
3622 * ieee80211_sched_scan_results() function whenever it finds results.
3623 * This process will continue until sched_scan_stop is called.
3625 * @sched_scan_stop: Tell the hardware to stop an ongoing scheduled scan.
3626 * In this case, ieee80211_sched_scan_stopped() must not be called.
3628 * @sw_scan_start: Notifier function that is called just before a software scan
3629 * is started. Can be NULL, if the driver doesn't need this notification.
3630 * The mac_addr parameter allows supporting NL80211_SCAN_FLAG_RANDOM_ADDR,
3631 * the driver may set the NL80211_FEATURE_SCAN_RANDOM_MAC_ADDR flag if it
3632 * can use this parameter. The callback can sleep.
3634 * @sw_scan_complete: Notifier function that is called just after a
3635 * software scan finished. Can be NULL, if the driver doesn't need
3636 * this notification.
3637 * The callback can sleep.
3639 * @get_stats: Return low-level statistics.
3640 * Returns zero if statistics are available.
3641 * The callback can sleep.
3643 * @get_key_seq: If your device implements encryption in hardware and does
3644 * IV/PN assignment then this callback should be provided to read the
3645 * IV/PN for the given key from hardware.
3646 * The callback must be atomic.
3648 * @set_frag_threshold: Configuration of fragmentation threshold. Assign this
3649 * if the device does fragmentation by itself. Note that to prevent the
3650 * stack from doing fragmentation IEEE80211_HW_SUPPORTS_TX_FRAG
3651 * should be set as well.
3652 * The callback can sleep.
3654 * @set_rts_threshold: Configuration of RTS threshold (if device needs it)
3655 * The callback can sleep.
3657 * @sta_add: Notifies low level driver about addition of an associated station,
3658 * AP, IBSS/WDS/mesh peer etc. This callback can sleep.
3660 * @sta_remove: Notifies low level driver about removal of an associated
3661 * station, AP, IBSS/WDS/mesh peer etc. Note that after the callback
3662 * returns it isn't safe to use the pointer, not even RCU protected;
3663 * no RCU grace period is guaranteed between returning here and freeing
3664 * the station. See @sta_pre_rcu_remove if needed.
3665 * This callback can sleep.
3667 * @sta_add_debugfs: Drivers can use this callback to add debugfs files
3668 * when a station is added to mac80211's station list. This callback
3669 * should be within a CONFIG_MAC80211_DEBUGFS conditional. This
3670 * callback can sleep.
3672 * @sta_notify: Notifies low level driver about power state transition of an
3673 * associated station, AP, IBSS/WDS/mesh peer etc. For a VIF operating
3674 * in AP mode, this callback will not be called when the flag
3675 * %IEEE80211_HW_AP_LINK_PS is set. Must be atomic.
3677 * @sta_set_txpwr: Configure the station tx power. This callback set the tx
3678 * power for the station.
3679 * This callback can sleep.
3681 * @sta_state: Notifies low level driver about state transition of a
3682 * station (which can be the AP, a client, IBSS/WDS/mesh peer etc.)
3683 * This callback is mutually exclusive with @sta_add/@sta_remove.
3684 * It must not fail for down transitions but may fail for transitions
3685 * up the list of states. Also note that after the callback returns it
3686 * isn't safe to use the pointer, not even RCU protected - no RCU grace
3687 * period is guaranteed between returning here and freeing the station.
3688 * See @sta_pre_rcu_remove if needed.
3689 * The callback can sleep.
3691 * @sta_pre_rcu_remove: Notify driver about station removal before RCU
3692 * synchronisation. This is useful if a driver needs to have station
3693 * pointers protected using RCU, it can then use this call to clear
3694 * the pointers instead of waiting for an RCU grace period to elapse
3696 * The callback can sleep.
3698 * @sta_rc_update: Notifies the driver of changes to the bitrates that can be
3699 * used to transmit to the station. The changes are advertised with bits
3700 * from &enum ieee80211_rate_control_changed and the values are reflected
3701 * in the station data. This callback should only be used when the driver
3702 * uses hardware rate control (%IEEE80211_HW_HAS_RATE_CONTROL) since
3703 * otherwise the rate control algorithm is notified directly.
3705 * @sta_rate_tbl_update: Notifies the driver that the rate table changed. This
3706 * is only used if the configured rate control algorithm actually uses
3707 * the new rate table API, and is therefore optional. Must be atomic.
3709 * @sta_statistics: Get statistics for this station. For example with beacon
3710 * filtering, the statistics kept by mac80211 might not be accurate, so
3711 * let the driver pre-fill the statistics. The driver can fill most of
3712 * the values (indicating which by setting the filled bitmap), but not
3713 * all of them make sense - see the source for which ones are possible.
3714 * Statistics that the driver doesn't fill will be filled by mac80211.
3715 * The callback can sleep.
3717 * @conf_tx: Configure TX queue parameters (EDCF (aifs, cw_min, cw_max),
3718 * bursting) for a hardware TX queue.
3719 * Returns a negative error code on failure.
3720 * The callback can sleep.
3722 * @get_tsf: Get the current TSF timer value from firmware/hardware. Currently,
3723 * this is only used for IBSS mode BSSID merging and debugging. Is not a
3724 * required function.
3725 * The callback can sleep.
3727 * @set_tsf: Set the TSF timer to the specified value in the firmware/hardware.
3728 * Currently, this is only used for IBSS mode debugging. Is not a
3729 * required function.
3730 * The callback can sleep.
3732 * @offset_tsf: Offset the TSF timer by the specified value in the
3733 * firmware/hardware. Preferred to set_tsf as it avoids delay between
3734 * calling set_tsf() and hardware getting programmed, which will show up
3735 * as TSF delay. Is not a required function.
3736 * The callback can sleep.
3738 * @reset_tsf: Reset the TSF timer and allow firmware/hardware to synchronize
3739 * with other STAs in the IBSS. This is only used in IBSS mode. This
3740 * function is optional if the firmware/hardware takes full care of
3741 * TSF synchronization.
3742 * The callback can sleep.
3744 * @tx_last_beacon: Determine whether the last IBSS beacon was sent by us.
3745 * This is needed only for IBSS mode and the result of this function is
3746 * used to determine whether to reply to Probe Requests.
3747 * Returns non-zero if this device sent the last beacon.
3748 * The callback can sleep.
3750 * @get_survey: Return per-channel survey information
3752 * @rfkill_poll: Poll rfkill hardware state. If you need this, you also
3753 * need to set wiphy->rfkill_poll to %true before registration,
3754 * and need to call wiphy_rfkill_set_hw_state() in the callback.
3755 * The callback can sleep.
3757 * @set_coverage_class: Set slot time for given coverage class as specified
3758 * in IEEE 802.11-2007 section 17.3.8.6 and modify ACK timeout
3759 * accordingly; coverage class equals to -1 to enable ACK timeout
3760 * estimation algorithm (dynack). To disable dynack set valid value for
3761 * coverage class. This callback is not required and may sleep.
3763 * @testmode_cmd: Implement a cfg80211 test mode command. The passed @vif may
3764 * be %NULL. The callback can sleep.
3765 * @testmode_dump: Implement a cfg80211 test mode dump. The callback can sleep.
3767 * @flush: Flush all pending frames from the hardware queue, making sure
3768 * that the hardware queues are empty. The @queues parameter is a bitmap
3769 * of queues to flush, which is useful if different virtual interfaces
3770 * use different hardware queues; it may also indicate all queues.
3771 * If the parameter @drop is set to %true, pending frames may be dropped.
3772 * Note that vif can be NULL.
3773 * The callback can sleep.
3775 * @channel_switch: Drivers that need (or want) to offload the channel
3776 * switch operation for CSAs received from the AP may implement this
3777 * callback. They must then call ieee80211_chswitch_done() to indicate
3778 * completion of the channel switch.
3780 * @set_antenna: Set antenna configuration (tx_ant, rx_ant) on the device.
3781 * Parameters are bitmaps of allowed antennas to use for TX/RX. Drivers may
3782 * reject TX/RX mask combinations they cannot support by returning -EINVAL
3783 * (also see nl80211.h @NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_ANTENNA_TX).
3785 * @get_antenna: Get current antenna configuration from device (tx_ant, rx_ant).
3787 * @remain_on_channel: Starts an off-channel period on the given channel, must
3788 * call back to ieee80211_ready_on_channel() when on that channel. Note
3789 * that normal channel traffic is not stopped as this is intended for hw
3790 * offload. Frames to transmit on the off-channel channel are transmitted
3791 * normally except for the %IEEE80211_TX_CTL_TX_OFFCHAN flag. When the
3792 * duration (which will always be non-zero) expires, the driver must call
3793 * ieee80211_remain_on_channel_expired().
3794 * Note that this callback may be called while the device is in IDLE and
3795 * must be accepted in this case.
3796 * This callback may sleep.
3797 * @cancel_remain_on_channel: Requests that an ongoing off-channel period is
3798 * aborted before it expires. This callback may sleep.
3800 * @set_ringparam: Set tx and rx ring sizes.
3802 * @get_ringparam: Get tx and rx ring current and maximum sizes.
3804 * @tx_frames_pending: Check if there is any pending frame in the hardware
3805 * queues before entering power save.
3807 * @set_bitrate_mask: Set a mask of rates to be used for rate control selection
3808 * when transmitting a frame. Currently only legacy rates are handled.
3809 * The callback can sleep.
3810 * @event_callback: Notify driver about any event in mac80211. See
3811 * &enum ieee80211_event_type for the different types.
3812 * The callback must be atomic.
3814 * @release_buffered_frames: Release buffered frames according to the given
3815 * parameters. In the case where the driver buffers some frames for
3816 * sleeping stations mac80211 will use this callback to tell the driver
3817 * to release some frames, either for PS-poll or uAPSD.
3818 * Note that if the @more_data parameter is %false the driver must check
3819 * if there are more frames on the given TIDs, and if there are more than
3820 * the frames being released then it must still set the more-data bit in
3821 * the frame. If the @more_data parameter is %true, then of course the
3822 * more-data bit must always be set.
3823 * The @tids parameter tells the driver which TIDs to release frames
3824 * from, for PS-poll it will always have only a single bit set.
3825 * In the case this is used for a PS-poll initiated release, the
3826 * @num_frames parameter will always be 1 so code can be shared. In
3827 * this case the driver must also set %IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP flag
3828 * on the TX status (and must report TX status) so that the PS-poll
3829 * period is properly ended. This is used to avoid sending multiple
3830 * responses for a retried PS-poll frame.
3831 * In the case this is used for uAPSD, the @num_frames parameter may be
3832 * bigger than one, but the driver may send fewer frames (it must send
3833 * at least one, however). In this case it is also responsible for
3834 * setting the EOSP flag in the QoS header of the frames. Also, when the
3835 * service period ends, the driver must set %IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP
3836 * on the last frame in the SP. Alternatively, it may call the function
3837 * ieee80211_sta_eosp() to inform mac80211 of the end of the SP.
3838 * This callback must be atomic.
3839 * @allow_buffered_frames: Prepare device to allow the given number of frames
3840 * to go out to the given station. The frames will be sent by mac80211
3841 * via the usual TX path after this call. The TX information for frames
3842 * released will also have the %IEEE80211_TX_CTL_NO_PS_BUFFER flag set
3843 * and the last one will also have %IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP set. In case
3844 * frames from multiple TIDs are released and the driver might reorder
3845 * them between the TIDs, it must set the %IEEE80211_TX_STATUS_EOSP flag
3846 * on the last frame and clear it on all others and also handle the EOSP
3847 * bit in the QoS header correctly. Alternatively, it can also call the
3848 * ieee80211_sta_eosp() function.
3849 * The @tids parameter is a bitmap and tells the driver which TIDs the
3850 * frames will be on; it will at most have two bits set.
3851 * This callback must be atomic.
3853 * @get_et_sset_count: Ethtool API to get string-set count.
3855 * @get_et_stats: Ethtool API to get a set of u64 stats.
3857 * @get_et_strings: Ethtool API to get a set of strings to describe stats
3858 * and perhaps other supported types of ethtool data-sets.
3860 * @mgd_prepare_tx: Prepare for transmitting a management frame for association
3861 * before associated. In multi-channel scenarios, a virtual interface is
3862 * bound to a channel before it is associated, but as it isn't associated
3863 * yet it need not necessarily be given airtime, in particular since any
3864 * transmission to a P2P GO needs to be synchronized against the GO's
3865 * powersave state. mac80211 will call this function before transmitting a
3866 * management frame prior to having successfully associated to allow the
3867 * driver to give it channel time for the transmission, to get a response
3868 * and to be able to synchronize with the GO.
3869 * For drivers that set %IEEE80211_HW_DEAUTH_NEED_MGD_TX_PREP, mac80211
3870 * would also call this function before transmitting a deauthentication
3871 * frame in case that no beacon was heard from the AP/P2P GO.
3872 * The callback will be called before each transmission and upon return
3873 * mac80211 will transmit the frame right away.
3874 * Additional information is passed in the &struct ieee80211_prep_tx_info
3875 * data. If duration there is greater than zero, mac80211 hints to the
3876 * driver the duration for which the operation is requested.
3877 * The callback is optional and can (should!) sleep.
3878 * @mgd_complete_tx: Notify the driver that the response frame for a previously
3879 * transmitted frame announced with @mgd_prepare_tx was received, the data
3880 * is filled similarly to @mgd_prepare_tx though the duration is not used.
3882 * @mgd_protect_tdls_discover: Protect a TDLS discovery session. After sending
3883 * a TDLS discovery-request, we expect a reply to arrive on the AP's
3884 * channel. We must stay on the channel (no PSM, scan, etc.), since a TDLS
3885 * setup-response is a direct packet not buffered by the AP.
3886 * mac80211 will call this function just before the transmission of a TDLS
3887 * discovery-request. The recommended period of protection is at least
3888 * 2 * (DTIM period).
3889 * The callback is optional and can sleep.
3891 * @add_chanctx: Notifies device driver about new channel context creation.
3892 * This callback may sleep.
3893 * @remove_chanctx: Notifies device driver about channel context destruction.
3894 * This callback may sleep.
3895 * @change_chanctx: Notifies device driver about channel context changes that
3896 * may happen when combining different virtual interfaces on the same
3897 * channel context with different settings
3898 * This callback may sleep.
3899 * @assign_vif_chanctx: Notifies device driver about channel context being bound
3900 * to vif. Possible use is for hw queue remapping.
3901 * This callback may sleep.
3902 * @unassign_vif_chanctx: Notifies device driver about channel context being
3904 * This callback may sleep.
3905 * @switch_vif_chanctx: switch a number of vifs from one chanctx to
3906 * another, as specified in the list of
3907 * @ieee80211_vif_chanctx_switch passed to the driver, according
3908 * to the mode defined in &ieee80211_chanctx_switch_mode.
3909 * This callback may sleep.
3911 * @start_ap: Start operation on the AP interface, this is called after all the
3912 * information in bss_conf is set and beacon can be retrieved. A channel
3913 * context is bound before this is called. Note that if the driver uses
3914 * software scan or ROC, this (and @stop_ap) isn't called when the AP is
3915 * just "paused" for scanning/ROC, which is indicated by the beacon being
3916 * disabled/enabled via @bss_info_changed.
3917 * @stop_ap: Stop operation on the AP interface.
3919 * @reconfig_complete: Called after a call to ieee80211_restart_hw() and
3920 * during resume, when the reconfiguration has completed.
3921 * This can help the driver implement the reconfiguration step (and
3922 * indicate mac80211 is ready to receive frames).
3923 * This callback may sleep.
3925 * @ipv6_addr_change: IPv6 address assignment on the given interface changed.
3926 * Currently, this is only called for managed or P2P client interfaces.
3927 * This callback is optional; it must not sleep.
3929 * @channel_switch_beacon: Starts a channel switch to a new channel.
3930 * Beacons are modified to include CSA or ECSA IEs before calling this
3931 * function. The corresponding count fields in these IEs must be
3932 * decremented, and when they reach 1 the driver must call
3933 * ieee80211_csa_finish(). Drivers which use ieee80211_beacon_get()
3934 * get the csa counter decremented by mac80211, but must check if it is
3935 * 1 using ieee80211_beacon_counter_is_complete() after the beacon has been
3936 * transmitted and then call ieee80211_csa_finish().
3937 * If the CSA count starts as zero or 1, this function will not be called,
3938 * since there won't be any time to beacon before the switch anyway.
3939 * @pre_channel_switch: This is an optional callback that is called
3940 * before a channel switch procedure is started (ie. when a STA
3941 * gets a CSA or a userspace initiated channel-switch), allowing
3942 * the driver to prepare for the channel switch.
3943 * @post_channel_switch: This is an optional callback that is called
3944 * after a channel switch procedure is completed, allowing the
3945 * driver to go back to a normal configuration.
3946 * @abort_channel_switch: This is an optional callback that is called
3947 * when channel switch procedure was completed, allowing the
3948 * driver to go back to a normal configuration.
3949 * @channel_switch_rx_beacon: This is an optional callback that is called
3950 * when channel switch procedure is in progress and additional beacon with
3951 * CSA IE was received, allowing driver to track changes in count.
3952 * @join_ibss: Join an IBSS (on an IBSS interface); this is called after all
3953 * information in bss_conf is set up and the beacon can be retrieved. A
3954 * channel context is bound before this is called.
3955 * @leave_ibss: Leave the IBSS again.
3957 * @get_expected_throughput: extract the expected throughput towards the
3958 * specified station. The returned value is expressed in Kbps. It returns 0
3959 * if the RC algorithm does not have proper data to provide.
3961 * @get_txpower: get current maximum tx power (in dBm) based on configuration
3962 * and hardware limits.
3964 * @tdls_channel_switch: Start channel-switching with a TDLS peer. The driver
3965 * is responsible for continually initiating channel-switching operations
3966 * and returning to the base channel for communication with the AP. The
3967 * driver receives a channel-switch request template and the location of
3968 * the switch-timing IE within the template as part of the invocation.
3969 * The template is valid only within the call, and the driver can
3970 * optionally copy the skb for further re-use.
3971 * @tdls_cancel_channel_switch: Stop channel-switching with a TDLS peer. Both
3972 * peers must be on the base channel when the call completes.
3973 * @tdls_recv_channel_switch: a TDLS channel-switch related frame (request or
3974 * response) has been received from a remote peer. The driver gets
3975 * parameters parsed from the incoming frame and may use them to continue
3976 * an ongoing channel-switch operation. In addition, a channel-switch
3977 * response template is provided, together with the location of the
3978 * switch-timing IE within the template. The skb can only be used within
3979 * the function call.
3981 * @wake_tx_queue: Called when new packets have been added to the queue.
3982 * @sync_rx_queues: Process all pending frames in RSS queues. This is a
3983 * synchronization which is needed in case driver has in its RSS queues
3984 * pending frames that were received prior to the control path action
3985 * currently taken (e.g. disassociation) but are not processed yet.
3987 * @start_nan: join an existing NAN cluster, or create a new one.
3988 * @stop_nan: leave the NAN cluster.
3989 * @nan_change_conf: change NAN configuration. The data in cfg80211_nan_conf
3990 * contains full new configuration and changes specify which parameters
3991 * are changed with respect to the last NAN config.
3992 * The driver gets both full configuration and the changed parameters since
3993 * some devices may need the full configuration while others need only the
3994 * changed parameters.
3995 * @add_nan_func: Add a NAN function. Returns 0 on success. The data in
