29 * DOC: Introduction
31 * cfg80211 is the configuration API for 802.11 devices in Linux. It bridges
32 * userspace and drivers, and offers some utility functionality associated
33 * with 802.11. cfg80211 must, directly or indirectly via mac80211, be used
34 * by all modern wireless drivers in Linux, so that they offer a consistent
35 * API through nl80211. For backward compatibility, cfg80211 also offers
36 * wireless extensions to userspace, but hides them from drivers completely.
38 * Additionally, cfg80211 contains code to help enforce regulatory spectrum
39 * use restrictions.
43 /**
44 * DOC: Device registration
46 * In order for a driver to use cfg80211, it must register the hardware device
47 * with cfg80211. This happens through a number of hardware capability structs
48 * described below.
50 * The fundamental structure for each device is the 'wiphy', of which each
51 * instance describes a physical wireless device connected to the system. Each
52 * such wiphy can have zero, one, or many virtual interfaces associated with
53 * it, which need to be identified as such by pointing the network interface's
54 * @ieee80211_ptr pointer to a &struct wireless_dev which further describes
55 * the wireless part of the interface, normally this struct is embedded in the
56 * network interface's private data area. Drivers can optionally allow creating
57 * or destroying virtual interfaces on the fly, but without at least one or the
58 * ability to create some the wireless device isn't useful.
60 * Each wiphy structure contains device capability information, and also has
61 * a pointer to the various operations the driver offers. The definitions and
62 * structures here describe these capabilities in detail.

693 * DOC: Scanning and BSS list handling
695 * The scanning process itself is fairly simple, but cfg80211 offers quite
696 * a bit of helper functionality. To start a scan, the scan operation will
697 * be invoked with a scan definition. This scan definition contains the
698 * channels to scan, and the SSIDs to send probe requests for (including the
699 * wildcard, if desired). A passive scan is indicated by having no SSIDs to
700 * probe. Additionally, a scan request may contain extra information elements
701 * that should be added to the probe request. The IEs are guaranteed to be
702 * well-formed, and will not exceed the maximum length the driver advertised
703 * in the wiphy structure.
705 * When scanning finds a BSS, cfg80211 needs to be notified of that, because
706 * it is responsible for maintaining the BSS list; the driver should not
707 * maintain a list itself. For this notification, various functions exist.
709 * Since drivers do not maintain a BSS list, there are also a number of
710 * functions to search for a BSS and obtain information about it from the
711 * BSS structure cfg80211 maintains. The BSS list is also made available
712 * to userspace.

1168 * ready on the requested channel, it must indicate this with an event
1169 * notification by calling cfg80211_ready_on_channel().
1170 * @cancel_remain_on_channel: Cancel an on-going remain-on-channel operation.
1171 * This allows the operation to be terminated prior to timeout based on
1172 * the duration value.
1173 * @mgmt_tx: Transmit a management frame.
1174 * @mgmt_tx_cancel_wait: Cancel the wait time from transmitting a management
1175 * frame on another channel
1177 * @testmode_cmd: run a test mode command
1179 * @set_bitrate_mask: set the bitrate mask configuration
1181 * @set_pmksa: Cache a PMKID for a BSSID. This is mostly useful for fullmac
1182 * devices running firmwares capable of generating the (re) association
1183 * RSN IE. It allows for faster roaming between WPA2 BSSIDs.
1184 * @del_pmksa: Delete a cached PMKID.
1185 * @flush_pmksa: Flush all cached PMKIDs.
1186 * @set_power_mgmt: Configure WLAN power management. A timeout value of -1
1187 * allows the driver to adjust the dynamic ps timeout value.
1188 * @set_cqm_rssi_config: Configure connection quality monitor RSSI threshold.
1190 * @mgmt_frame_register: Notify driver that a management frame type was
1191 * registered. Note that this callback may not sleep, and cannot run
1192 * concurrently with itself.
1194 * @set_antenna: Set antenna configuration (tx_ant, rx_ant) on the device.
1195 * Parameters are bitmaps of allowed antennas to use for TX/RX. Drivers may
1196 * reject TX/RX mask combinations they cannot support by returning -EINVAL
1197 * (also see nl80211.h @NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_ANTENNA_TX).
1199 * @get_antenna: Get current antenna configuration from device (tx_ant, rx_ant).
1201 * @set_ringparam: Set tx and rx ring sizes.
1203 * @get_ringparam: Get tx and rx ring current and maximum sizes.
