NAME

struct_ieee80211_rate - bitrate definition

SYNOPSIS

struct ieee80211_rate {
  u32 flags;
  u16 bitrate;
  u16 hw_value;
  u16 hw_value_short;
};

MEMBERS

flags

: rate-specific flags

bitrate

: bitrate in units of 100 Kbps

hw_value

: driver/hardware value for this rate

hw_value_short

: driver/hardware value for this rate when short preamble is used

DESCRIPTION

This structure describes a bitrate that an 802.11 PHY can operate with. The two values hw_value and hw_value_short are only for driver use when pointers to this structure are passed around.
