OID_DOT11_SAFE_MODE_ENABLED (Compact 7)

3/12/2014

When set, the OID_DOT11_SAFE_MODE_ENABLED object identifier (OID) requests that the miniport driver enable 802.11 safe mode on the 802.11 station by setting the Boolean value msDot11SafeModeEnabled to TRUE.

The data type for this OID is a Boolean value.

The miniport driver must fail a set request with error code NDIS_STATUS_INVALID_STATE if the 802.11 station is in any state except the initialization (INIT) state. When this OID is queried when the extensible station is in the INIT state, the miniport driver must complete the request if the network adapter sets the bSafeModeImplemented member of the DOT11_EXTSTA_ATTRIBUTES1fa93ecb-37d5-4162-8f3b-ace794222b74 structure to TRUE. Otherwise, the miniport driver should fail the set request.

This OID is set only if the network adapter implements the 802.11 safe mode of operation, as indicated by the value of the bSafeModeImplemented member of DOT11_EXTSTA_ATTRIBUTES.

If this OID is not set, its default value is used.

Safe mode is disabled by default. The default value of msDot11SafeModeEnabled is FALSE.

When queried, OID_DOT11_QOS_PARAMS requests that the miniport driver return the value of msDot11SafeModeEnabled.
