NAME

enum_ieee80211_key_flags - key flags

SYNOPSIS

enum ieee80211_key_flags {
  IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_WMM_STA,
  IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_GENERATE_IV,
  IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_GENERATE_MMIC,
  IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_PAIRWISE,
  IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_SW_MGMT
};

CONSTANTS

IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_WMM_STA

: Set by mac80211, this flag indicates that the STA this key will be used with could be using QoS.

IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_GENERATE_IV

: This flag should be set by the driver to indicate that it requires IV generation for this particular key.

IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_GENERATE_MMIC

: This flag should be set by the driver for a TKIP key if it requires Michael MIC generation in software.

IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_PAIRWISE

: Set by mac80211, this flag indicates that the key is pairwise rather then a shared key.

IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_SW_MGMT

: This flag should be set by the driver for a CCMP key if it requires CCMP encryption of management frames (MFP) to be done in software.

DESCRIPTION

These flags are used for communication about keys between the driver and mac80211, with the flags parameter of struct ieee80211_key_conf.
