NAME

struct_cfg80211_auth_request - Authentication request data

SYNOPSIS

struct cfg80211_auth_request {
  struct cfg80211_bss * bss;
  const u8 * ie;
  size_t ie_len;
  enum nl80211_auth_type auth_type;
  const u8 * key;
  u8 key_len;
  u8 key_idx;
  bool local_state_change;
};

MEMBERS

bss

: The BSS to authenticate with.

: Extra IEs to add to Authentication frame or NULL

ie_len

: Length of ie buffer in octets

auth_type

: Authentication type (algorithm)

key

: WEP key for shared key authentication

key_len

: length of WEP key for shared key authentication

key_idx

: index of WEP key for shared key authentication

local_state_change

: This is a request for a local state only, i.e., no Authentication frame is to be transmitted and authentication state is to be changed without having to wait for a response from the peer STA (AP).

DESCRIPTION

This structure provides information needed to complete IEEE 802.11 authentication.
