  const u8 * ie;
  const u8 * prev_bssid;
  size_t ie_len;
  struct cfg80211_crypto_settings crypto;

  struct ieee80211_vht_cap vht_capa;
  struct ieee80211_vht_cap vht_capa_mask;
};

MEMBERS

bss
The BSS to associate with. If the call is successful the driver is given a reference that it must give back to cfg80211_send_rx_assoc or to cfg80211_assoc_timeout. To ensure proper refcounting, new association requests while already associating must be rejected.
ie
Extra IEs to add to (Re)Association Request frame or NULL
prev_bssid
previous BSSID, if not NULL use reassociate frame
ie_len
Length of ie buffer in octets
crypto
crypto settings
use_mfp
Use management frame protection (IEEE 802.11w) in this association
flags
See enum cfg80211_assoc_req_flags
ht_capa
HT Capabilities over-rides. Values set in ht_capa_mask will be used in ht_capa. Un-supported values will be ignored.
ht_capa_mask
The bits of ht_capa which are to be used.
vht_capa
VHT capability override
vht_capa_mask
VHT capability mask indicating which fields to use
