NAMEenum_ieee80211_key_flags − key flags

SYNOPSISenum ieee80211_key_flags { IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_GENERATE_IV_MGMT, IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_GENERATE_IV, IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_GENERATE_MMIC, IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_PAIRWISE, IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_SW_MGMT_TX, IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_PUT_IV_SPACE, IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_RX_MGMT, IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_RESERVE_TAILROOM };

CONSTANTSIEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_GENERATE_IV_MGMT This flag should be set by the driver for a CCMP/GCMP key to indicate that is requires IV generation only for managment frames (MFP)​. IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_GENERATE_IV This flag should be set by the driver to indicate that it requires IV generation for this particular key​. Setting this flag does not necessarily mean that SKBs will have sufficient tailroom for ICV or MIC​. 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​. IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_SW_MGMT_TX This flag should be set by the driver for a CCMP/GCMP key if it requires CCMP/GCMP encryption of management frames (MFP) to be done in software​. IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_PUT_IV_SPACE This flag should be set by the driver if space should be prepared for the IV, but the IV itself should not be generated​. Do not set together with IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_GENERATE_IV on the same key​. Setting this flag does not necessarily mean that SKBs will have sufficient tailroom for ICV or MIC​. IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_RX_MGMT This key will be used to decrypt received management frames​. The flag can help drivers that have a hardware crypto implementation that doesn´t deal with management frames properly by allowing them to not upload the keys to hardware and fall back to software crypto​. Note that this flag deals only with RX, if your crypto engine can´t deal with TX you can also set the IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_SW_MGMT_TX flag to encrypt such frames in SW​. IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_RESERVE_TAILROOM This flag should be set by the driver for a key to indicate that sufficient tailroom must always be reserved for ICV or MIC, even when HW encryption is enabled​.

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