    };

## Members

ssid

  The SSID, will always be non-null.

bssid

  Fixed BSSID requested, maybe be `NULL`, if set do not search for IBSSs with a different BSSID.

chandef

  defines the channel to use if no other IBSS to join can be found

ie

  information element(s) to include in the beacon

ssid_len

  The length of the SSID, will always be non-zero.

ie_len

  length of that

beacon_interval

  beacon interval to use

basic_rates

  bitmap of basic rates to use when creating the IBSS

channel_fixed

  The channel should be fixed -- do not search for IBSSs to join on other channels.

privacy

  this is a protected network, keys will be configured after joining

control_port

  whether user space controls IEEE 802.1X port, i.e., sets/clears `NL80211_STA_FLAG_AUTHORIZED`. If true, the driver is required to assume that the port is unauthorized until authorized by user space. Otherwise, port is marked authorized by default.

userspace_handles_dfs

  whether user space controls DFS operation, i.e. changes the channel when a radar is detected. This is required to operate on DFS channels.

mcast_rate[IEEE80211_NUM_BANDS]

  per-band multicast rate index + 1 (0: disabled)

ht_capa

  HT Capabilities over-rides. Values set in ht_capa_mask will be used in ht_capa. Un-supported values will be ignored.

ht_capa_mask

  The bits of ht_capa which are to be used.

## Description

This structure defines the IBSS parameters for the `join_ibss` method.
