Hi All,
This is my first thread to the group.
I am developing a wireless miniport driver and I have difficulty with developing the auto-connection feature. If the user has clicked auto-connect, Windows will not send a connect request when the SSID is available.
The reason for that is that I haven’t found a NDIS indication that I should use in order to notify the OS about the new SSID.
Currently, the only way this is handled, is that when the user clicks the network manager icon, Windows sends an OID_DOT11_SCAN_REQUEST which is then followed by an OID_DOT11_ENUM_BSS_LIST which informs the windows about the SSID. Then the windows will send a connection request.
So my question is, how should the driver trigger an OID_DOT11_SCAN_REQUEST request, or is there a way to inform Windows about the Windows of a newly discovered SSID without waiting for a request from Windows?
All the best,
Angelos
