struct ieee80211_if_init_conf — initial configuration of an interface
struct ieee80211_if_init_conf {
enum nl80211_iftype type;
struct ieee80211_vif * vif;
void * mac_addr;
}; one of enum nl80211_iftype constants. Determines the type of added/removed interface.
pointer to a driver-use per-interface structure. The pointer
itself is also used for various functions including
ieee80211_beacon_get and ieee80211_get_buffered_bc.
pointer to MAC address of the interface. This pointer is valid
until the interface is removed (i.e. it cannot be used after
remove_interface callback was called for this interface).
This structure is used in add_interface and remove_interface
callbacks of struct ieee80211_hw.
When you allow multiple interfaces to be added to your PHY, take care
that the hardware can actually handle multiple MAC addresses. However,
also take care that when there's no interface left with mac_addr != NULL
you remove the MAC address from the device to avoid acknowledging packets
in pure monitor mode.
