NAME

enum_ieee80211_conf_flags - configuration flags

SYNOPSIS

 enum ieee80211_conf_flags {
   IEEE80211_CONF_MONITOR,
   IEEE80211_CONF_PS,
   IEEE80211_CONF_IDLE,
   IEEE80211_CONF_QOS
 };  
 

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 lqPowersave supportrq 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_QOS

Enable 802.11e QoS also know as WMM (Wireless Multimedia). On some drivers (iwlwifi is one of know) we have to enable/disable QoS explicitly.

DESCRIPTION

Flags to define PHY configuration options
