supported rates in IEEE 802.11 format (or NULL for no change)
vlan
vlan interface station should belong to
sta_flags_mask
station flags that changed (bitmask of BIT(NL80211_STA_FLAG_...))
sta_flags_set
station flags values (bitmask of BIT(NL80211_STA_FLAG_...))
sta_modify_mask
bitmap indicating which parameters changed (for those that don't have a natural "no change" value), see enum
station_parameters_apply_mask
listen_interval
listen interval or -1 for no change
aid
AID or zero for no change
supported_rates_len
number of supported rates

plink action to take
plink_state
set the peer link state for a station
ht_capa
HT capabilities of station
vht_capa
VHT capabilities of station
uapsd_queues
bitmap of queues configured for uapsd. same format as the AC bitmap in the QoS info field
max_sp
max Service Period. same format as the MAX_SP in the QoS info field (but already shifted down)
local_pm
local link-specific mesh power save mode (no change when set to unknown)
capability
station capability
ext_capab
extended capabilities of the station
ext_capab_len
number of extended capabilities
DESCRIPTION
Used to change and create a new station.
