Forcing an adapter to disconnect from a wireless network

NTDEV

Hello All
I am developing an NDIS Intermediate driver. In my driver I am interested to
be able to force a WiFi adapter to disconnect from a network. The best way I
found is to send OID_802_11_DISASSOCIATE set request and then to send an
OID_802_11_SSID set request with a random SSID. This works for most of the
WiFi adapters. The problem is that Cisco 350 WiFi adapters just ignore both
my requests and remain connected to their current network (both requests are
completed successfully).
Is it normal for an NDIS miniport to ignore OID_802_11_DISASSOCIATE? Is
there any other way to force a miniport to disconnect from a network?
Thanks in advance,
Gregory

Visit the connect site and try to join the beta for XP Wlan API.
This API will give you all control over wi-fi you want,
maybe even more :slight_smile:
