The operating system calls this function to reset the wireless LAN (WLAN) adapter.

Syntax

DWORD WINAPI Dot11ExtIhvAdapterReset (
    HANDLE hIhvExtAdapter
);

Parameters

  • hIhvExtAdapter
    [in] The handle that is used by the IHV Extensions DLL to reference the WLAN adapter. This handle value was specified through a previous call to the Dot11ExtIhvInitAdapter IHV Handler function.

Return Value

If the call succeeds, the function returns ERROR_SUCCESS. Otherwise, it returns an error code defined in Winerror.h.

Remarks

The operating system calls Dot11ExtIhvAdapterReset when one of the following events occurs.

  • The WLAN adapter performs a disconnection operation.
  • The operating system resets the Native 802.11 miniport driver, which manages the adapter, through a set request of OID_DOT11_RESET_REQUEST.

The Dot11ExtIhvAdapterReset function must restore the WLAN adapter to the same state as when the DLL’s Dot11ExtIhvInitAdapter function was called.

Requirements

wlanihv.h
