WIMAX_STATE_CHANGE(9)                    Linux Networking                   WIMAX_STATE_CHANGE(9)



NAME
       wimax_state_change - Set the current state of a WiMAX device

SYNOPSIS
       void wimax_state_change(struct wimax_dev * wimax_dev, enum wimax_st new_state);

ARGUMENTS
       wimax_dev
           WiMAX device descriptor (properly referenced)

       new_state
           New state to switch to

DESCRIPTION
       This implements the state changes for the wimax devices. It will

       - verify that the state transition is legal (for now it'll just print a warning if not)
       according to the table in linux/wimax.h's documentation for 'enum wimax_st'.

       - perform the actions needed for leaving the current state and whichever are needed for
       entering the new state.

       - issue a report to user space indicating the new state (and an optional payload with
       information about the new state).

NOTE
       wimax_dev must be locked
