NAME

struct_cfg80211_auth_request - Authentication request data

SYNOPSIS

struct cfg80211_auth_request {
  struct cfg80211_bss * bss;
  const u8 * ie;
  size_t ie_len;
  enum nl80211_auth_type auth_type;
  const u8 * key;
  u8 key_len;
  u8 key_idx;
  bool local_state_change;
};

MEMBERS

bss
The BSS to authenticate with.
ie
Extra IEs to add to Authentication frame or NULL
ie_len
Length of ie buffer in octets
auth_type
Authentication type (algorithm)
key
WEP key for shared key authentication
key_len
length of WEP key for shared key authentication
key_idx
index of WEP key for shared key authentication
local_state_change
This is a request for a local state only, i.e., no Authentication frame is to be transmitted and authentication state is to be changed without having to wait for a response from the peer STA (AP).
