enum ieee80211_key_flags — key flags

Synopsis

enum ieee80211_key_flags {
  IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_WMM_STA,

  IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_GENERATE_MMIC,
  IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_PAIRWISE
};  

Constants

IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_WMM_STA

Set by mac80211, this flag indicates that the STA this key will be used with could be using QoS.

IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_GENERATE_IV

This flag should be set by the driver to indicate that it requires IV generation for this particular key.

IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_GENERATE_MMIC

This flag should be set by the driver for a TKIP key if it requires Michael MIC generation in software.

IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_PAIRWISE

Set by mac80211, this flag indicates that the key is pairwise rather then a shared key.

Description

These flags are used for communication about keys between the driver and mac80211, with the flags parameter of struct ieee80211_key_conf.
