◆ IEEE80211_STYPE_REASSOC_RESP

#define IEEE80211_STYPE_REASSOC_RESP   0x0030

◆ IEEE80211_STYPE_PROBE_REQ

#define IEEE80211_STYPE_PROBE_REQ   0x0040

Subtype value for probe-request management frames.

Probe request frames are sent by clients to request that all Access Points on the sending channel, or all belonging to a particular ESSID, identify themselves by BSSID, supported transfer rates, RF configuration, and other capabilities.

Definition at line 150 of file ieee80211.h.

◆ IEEE80211_STYPE_PROBE_RESP

#define IEEE80211_STYPE_PROBE_RESP   0x0050

Subtype value for probe-response management frames.

Probe response frames are sent by Access Points in response to probe request frames, providing the requested information.

Definition at line 157 of file ieee80211.h.

◆ IEEE80211_STYPE_BEACON

#define IEEE80211_STYPE_BEACON   0x0080

Subtype value for beacon management frames.

Beacon frames are sent by Access Points at regular intervals, usually ten per second, on the channel on which they communicate. They can be used to probe passively for access points on a channel where local regulatory restrictions prohibit active scanning, or due to their regularity as a mechanism to determine the fraction of packets that are being dropped.

Definition at line 168 of file ieee80211.h.

◆ IEEE80211_STYPE_DISASSOC

#define IEEE80211_STYPE_DISASSOC   0x00A0

Subtype value for disassociation management frames.

Disassociation frames are sent by either a client or an Access Point to unequivocally terminate the association between the two. They may be sent by clients upon leaving the network, or by an Access Point upon reconfiguration, among other reasons; they are usually more "polite" than deauthentication frames.

Definition at line 178 of file ieee80211.h.

◆ IEEE80211_STYPE_AUTH

#define IEEE80211_STYPE_AUTH   0x00B0

Subtype value for authentication management frames.

Authentication frames are exchanged between a client and an Access Point before association may be performed. Confusingly, in the most common authentication method (Open System) no security tokens are exchanged at all. Modern 802.11 security handshaking takes place after association.

Definition at line 188 of file ieee80211.h.

◆ IEEE80211_STYPE_DEAUTH

#define IEEE80211_STYPE_DEAUTH   0x00C0

Subtype value for deauthentication management frames.

Deauthentication frames are sent by either a client or an Access Point to terminate the authentication (and therefore also the association) between the two. They are generally more forceful than disassociation frames, sent for such reasons as a failure to set up security properly after associating.

Definition at line 198 of file ieee80211.h.

◆ IEEE80211_STYPE_ACTION

#define IEEE80211_STYPE_ACTION   0x00D0

Action frames are used to implement spectrum management and QoS features that iPXE currently does not support.

Definition at line 205 of file ieee80211.h.

◆ IEEE80211_STYPE_RTS

#define IEEE80211_STYPE_CTS   0x00C0

Subtype value for CTS (clear to send) control frames.

Definition at line 212 of file ieee80211.h.

#define IEEE80211_STYPE_ACK   0x00D0

Subtype value for ACK (acknowledgement) control frames.

Definition at line 215 of file ieee80211.h.

◆ IEEE80211_STYPE_DATA

#define IEEE80211_STYPE_DATA   0x0000

◆ IEEE80211_STYPE_NODATA

#define IEEE80211_STYPE_NODATA   0x0040

Subtype value for data frames containing no data.

Definition at line 222 of file ieee80211.h.

◆ IEEE80211_FC_TODS

#define IEEE80211_FC_TODS   0x0100

802.11 Frame Control field: To Data System flag

◆ IEEE80211_FC_FROMDS

#define IEEE80211_FC_FROMDS   0x0200

802.11 Frame Control field: From Data System flag
