MEMBERS

flags

configuration flags defined above

power_level

requested transmit power (in dBm)

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.

max_sleep_period

the maximum number of beacon intervals to sleep for before checking the beacon for a TIM bit (managed mode only); this value will be only achievable between DTIM frames, the hardware needs to check for the multicast traffic bit in DTIM beacons. 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 lqlongrq frame (a frame not RTS protected), called lqdot11LongRetryLimitrq 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 lqshortrq frame, called lqdot11ShortRetryLimitrq in 802.11, but actually means the number of transmissions not the number of retries

channel

the channel to tune to

channel_type

the channel (HT) type

smps_mode

spatial multiplexing powersave mode; note that IEEE80211_SMPS_STATIC is used when the device is not configured for an HT channel

DESCRIPTION

This struct indicates how the driver shall configure the hardware.
