Stations are added per interface, but a special case exists with VLAN interfaces. When a station is bound to an AP interface, it may be moved into a VLAN identified by a VLAN interface index (NL80211_ATTR_STA_VLAN). The station is still assumed to belong to the AP interface it was added to.

: indicates to userspace the regulatory domain has been changed and provides details of the request information that caused the change such as who initiated the regulatory request (NL80211_ATTR_REG_INITIATOR), the wiphy_idx (NL80211_ATTR_REG_ALPHA2) on which the request was made from if the initiator was NL80211_REGDOM_SET_BY_COUNTRY_IE or NL80211_REGDOM_SET_BY_DRIVER, the type of regulatory domain set (NL80211_ATTR_REG_TYPE), if the type of regulatory domain is NL80211_REG_TYPE_COUNTRY the alpha2 to which we have moved on to (NL80211_ATTR_REG_ALPHA2). : indicates to userspace that an AP beacon has been found while world roaming thus enabling active scan or any mode of operation that initiates TX (beacons) on a channel where we would not have been able to do either before. As an example if you are world roaming (regulatory domain set to world or if your driver is using a custom world roaming regulatory domain) and while doing a passive scan on the 5 GHz band you find an AP there (if not on a DFS channel) you will now be able to actively scan for that AP or use AP mode on your card on that same channel. Note that this will never be used for channels 1-11 on the 2 GHz band as they are always enabled world wide. This beacon hint is only sent if your device had either disabled active scanning or beaconing on a channel. We send to userspace the wiphy on which we removed a restriction from (NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY) and the channel on which this occurred before (NL80211_ATTR_FREQ_BEFORE) and after (NL80211_ATTR_FREQ_AFTER) the beacon hint was processed.
: authentication request and notification. This command is used both as a command (request to authenticate) and as an event on the "mlme" multicast group indicating completion of the authentication process. When used as a command, NL80211_ATTR_IFINDEX is used to identify the interface. NL80211_ATTR_MAC is used to specify PeerSTAAddress (and BSSID in case of station mode). NL80211_ATTR_SSID is used to specify the SSID (mainly for association, but is included in authentication request, too, to help BSS selection. NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_FREQ is used to specify the frequence of the channel in MHz. NL80211_ATTR_AUTH_TYPE is used to specify the authentication type. NL80211_ATTR_IE is used to define IEs (VendorSpecificInfo, but also including RSN IE and FT IEs) to be added to the frame. When used as an event, this reports reception of an Authentication frame in station and IBSS modes when the local MLME processed the frame, i.e., it was for the local STA and was received in correct state. This is similar to MLME-AUTHENTICATE.confirm primitive in the MLME SAP interface (kernel providing MLME, userspace SME). The included NL80211_ATTR_FRAME attribute contains the management frame (including both the header and frame body, but not FCS). This event is also used to indicate if the authentication attempt timed out. In that case the NL80211_ATTR_FRAME attribute is replaced with a NL80211_ATTR_TIMED_OUT flag (and NL80211_ATTR_MAC to indicate which pending authentication timed out). : association request and notification; like NL80211_CMD_AUTHENTICATE but for Association and Reassociation (similar to MLME-ASSOCIATE.request, MLME-REASSOCIATE.request, MLME-ASSOCIATE.confirm or MLME-REASSOCIATE.confirm primitives). : deauthentication request and notification; like NL80211_CMD_AUTHENTICATE but for Deauthentication frames (similar to MLME-DEAUTHENTICATION.request and MLME-DEAUTHENTICATE.indication primitives). : disassociation request and notification; like NL80211_CMD_AUTHENTICATE but for Disassociation frames (similar to MLME-DISASSOCIATE.request and MLME-DISASSOCIATE.indication primitives).
: notification of a locally detected Michael MIC (part of TKIP) failure; sent on the "mlme" multicast group; the event includes NL80211_ATTR_MAC to describe the source MAC address of the frame with invalid MIC, NL80211_ATTR_KEY_TYPE to show the key type, NL80211_ATTR_KEY_IDX to indicate the key identifier, and NL80211_ATTR_KEY_SEQ to indicate the TSC value of the frame; this event matches with MLME-MICHAELMICFAILURE.indication() primitive
: Join a new IBSS -- given at least an SSID and a FREQ attribute (for the initial frequency if no peer can be found) and optionally a MAC (as BSSID) and FREQ_FIXED attribute if those should be fixed rather than automatically determined. Can only be executed on a network interface that is UP, and fixed BSSID/FREQ may be rejected. Another optional parameter is the beacon interval, given in the NL80211_ATTR_BEACON_INTERVAL attribute, which if not given defaults to 100 TU (102.4ms). : Leave the IBSS -- no special arguments, the IBSS is determined by the network interface.
: testmode command, takes a wiphy (or ifindex) attribute to identify the device, and the TESTDATA blob attribute to pass through to the driver.
: connection request and notification; this command requests to connect to a specified network but without separating auth and assoc steps. For this, you need to specify the SSID in a NL80211_ATTR_SSID attribute, and can optionally specify the association IEs in NL80211_ATTR_IE, NL80211_ATTR_AUTH_TYPE, NL80211_ATTR_MAC, NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_FREQ and NL80211_ATTR_CONTROL_PORT. It is also sent as an event, with the BSSID and response IEs when the connection is established or failed to be established. This can be determined by the STATUS_CODE attribute. : request that the card roam (currently not implemented), sent as an event when the card/driver roamed by itself. : drop a given connection; also used to notify userspace that a connection was dropped by the AP or due to other reasons, for this the NL80211_ATTR_DISCONNECTED_BY_AP and NL80211_ATTR_REASON_CODE attributes are used.
: Set a wiphy's netns. Note that all devices associated with this wiphy must be down and will follow.
: Request to remain awake on the specified channel for the specified amount of time. This can be used to do off-channel operations like transmit a Public Action frame and wait for a response while being associated to an AP on another channel. NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY or NL80211_ATTR_IFINDEX is used to specify which radio is used. NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_FREQ is used to specify the frequency for the operation and NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_CHANNEL_TYPE may be optionally used to specify additional channel parameters. NL80211_ATTR_DURATION is used to specify the duration in milliseconds to remain on the channel. This command is also used as an event to notify when the requested duration starts (it may take a while for the driver to schedule this time due to other concurrent needs for the radio). When called, this operation returns a cookie (NL80211_ATTR_COOKIE) that will be included with any events pertaining to this request; the cookie is also used to cancel the request. : This command can be used to cancel a pending remain-on-channel duration if the desired operation has been completed prior to expiration of the originally requested duration. NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY or NL80211_ATTR_IFINDEX is used to specify the radio. The NL80211_ATTR_COOKIE attribute must be given as well to uniquely identify the request. This command is also used as an event to notify when a requested remain-on-channel duration has expired.
: Set the mask of rates to be used in TX rate selection. NL80211_ATTR_IFINDEX is used to specify the interface and the set of allowed rates.
: Register for receiving certain action frames (via ) for processing in userspace. This command requires an interface index and a match attribute containing the first few bytes of the frame that should match, e.g. a single byte for only a category match or four bytes for vendor frames including the OUI. The registration cannot be dropped, but is removed automatically when the netlink socket is closed. Multiple registrations can be made. : Action frame TX request and RX notification. This command is used both as a request to transmit an Action frame and as an event indicating reception of an Action frame that was not processed in kernel code, but is for us (i.e., which may need to be processed in a user space application). NL80211_ATTR_FRAME is used to specify the frame contents (including header). NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_FREQ (and optionally NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_CHANNEL_TYPE) is used to indicate on which channel the frame is to be transmitted or was received. This channel has to be the current channel (remain-on-channel or the operational channel). When called, this operation returns a cookie (NL80211_ATTR_COOKIE) that will be included with the TX status event pertaining to the TX request. : Report TX status of an Action frame transmitted with NL80211_CMD_ACTION. NL80211_ATTR_COOKIE identifies the TX command and NL80211_ATTR_FRAME includes the contents of the frame. NL80211_ATTR_ACK flag is included if the recipient acknowledged the frame. : Connection quality monitor configuration. This command is used to configure connection quality monitoring notification trigger levels. : Connection quality monitor notification. This command is used as an event to indicate the that a trigger level was reached.
