Wireless OID's

NTDEV
1

Hello all,
I’m trying to add wireless OID query support , using
The packet.sys sample code in WIN 2k.

I’ve replaced the ntdndis.h (Win 2k DDK) with
The ntdndis.h of XP DDK. This gets me the wireless OID definitions.

However I’m unable to get a successful query on any of the wireless
OID’s .

I’m using an Ornico PC Card

Can someone please help me out?

Thank you,
Avinash

Hi Avinash,
I don’t have an answer. I have a question. In the DDK is there a 802.11 sample driver?

You can use the PCAUSA “OID Scope” to examine OIDs on Windows NT and higher. (We will have a Pocket PC version of OID Scope shortly…)

The 802.11b OIDs were introduced with NDIS 5.1 (Windows XP).

What this means is that NDIS miniports build for NDIS 5.0 (Windows 2000) are not required to support the NDIS 5.1 OIDs. So, it is not unexpected that you would not see the NDIS 5.1 OIDs on a NDIS 5.0 system.

Some wireless vendors may add support for the NDIS 5.1 OIDs to their NDIS 5.0 drivers, but that would be up to them. So, the presence or absence of support for the 802.11b OIDs on Windows 2000 and lower is at the least driver version dependent.

On Windows 2000 you may see some "Implementation Specific OIDs " when querying wireless adapters. These would be vendor-proprietary OIDs that implements many of the same functions as the NDIS 5.1 OIDs. You would need to contact the adapter vendor to find out about their private OIDs.

Good luck,
