NAME
       struct_cfg80211_assoc_request - (Re)Association request data

SYNOPSIS
       struct cfg80211_assoc_request {
         struct cfg80211_bss * bss;
         const u8 * ie;
         const u8 * prev_bssid;
         size_t ie_len;
         struct cfg80211_crypto_settings crypto;
         bool use_mfp;
         u32 flags;
         struct ieee80211_ht_cap ht_capa;
         struct ieee80211_ht_cap ht_capa_mask;

         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. This is used to indicate a request
           to reassociate within the ESS instead of a request do the initial association with the
           ESS. When included, this is set to the BSSID of the current association, i.e., to the
           value that is included in the Current AP address field of the Reassociation Request
           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

DESCRIPTION
       This structure provides information needed to complete IEEE 802.11 (re)association.
