ENUM IEEE80211_CONF_(9) The basic mac80211 driver inte ENUM IEEE80211_CONF_(9)NAMEenum_ieee80211_conf_flags - configuration flags
SYNOPSIS
enum ieee80211_conf_flags {
IEEE80211_CONF_MONITOR,
IEEE80211_CONF_PS,
IEEE80211_CONF_IDLE,
IEEE80211_CONF_OFFCHANNEL
};
CONSTANTS
IEEE80211_CONF_MONITOR
there´s a monitor interface present -- use this to determine for
example whether to calculate timestamps for packets or not, do not
use instead of filter flags!
IEEE80211_CONF_PS
Enable 802.11 power save mode (managed mode only). This is the
power save mode defined by IEEE 802.11-2007 section 11.2, meaning
that the hardware still wakes up for beacons, is able to transmit
frames and receive the possible acknowledgment frames. Not to be
confused with hardware specific wakeup/sleep states, driver is
responsible for that. See the section “Powersave support” for more.
IEEE80211_CONF_IDLE
The device is running, but idle; if the flag is set the driver
should be prepared to handle configuration requests but may turn
the device off as much as possible. Typically, this flag will be
set when an interface is set UP but not associated or scanning, but
it can also be unset in that case when monitor interfaces are
active.
IEEE80211_CONF_OFFCHANNEL
The device is currently not on its main operating channel.
