The Native 802.11 Extensible Station (ExtSTA) object identifiers (OIDs) apply to miniport drivers that support the Native 802.11 ExtSTA operation mode only.

The following table defines the abbreviations that are used to specify the requirements for Native 802.11 ExtSTA OID query (Q), set (S), and NDIS 6.0 method (M) requests:

Abbreviation	Meaning
C	Indicates that support for the object is conditionally required for certain hardware or software functionality. If the 802.11 station supports the functionality, the miniport driver must support query or set requests for the object. Otherwise, the miniport driver must fail the set or query requests by returning NDIS_STATUS_NOT_SUPPORTED from its MiniportOidRequest function.
O	Indicates that support for the object is optional. The miniport driver can support query or set requests for the object, or the driver can fail the request by returning NDIS_STATUS_NOT_SUPPORTED from its MiniportOidRequest function.
R	Indicates that support for the object is required. The miniport driver must not return NDIS_STATUS_NOT_SUPPORTED from its MiniportOidRequest function.
X	Indicates that the specified state of a Native 802.11 operating mode supports a set request for the object. If the miniport driver is not in the specified state, the miniport driver must fail the set request by returning NDIS_STATUS_INVALID_STATE from its MiniportOidRequest function.

OIDs that support query requests can be queried from any state of the miniport driver’s operation mode.

Some ExtSTA OIDs reference IEEE 802.11 management information base (MIB) objects. The following table lists the ExtSTA OID name, the corresponding IEEE 802.11 MIB object name, and the IEEE 802.11 standard that defines the MIB object. For more information about an MIB object, refer to Annex D of the specified IEEE 802.11 standard.

ExtSTA OID Name	IEEE 802.11 MIB Object Name	IEEE 802.11 Standard
OID_DOT11_CIPHER_DEFAULT_KEY_ID	dot11DefaultKeyID	IEEE 802.11 - 1999
OID_DOT11_DESIRED_BSS_TYPE	dot11DesiredBSSType	IEEE 802.11 - 1999
OID_DOT11_EXCLUDE_UNENCRYPTED	dot11ExcludeUnencrypted	IEEE 802.11 - 1999
