OID_WAN_CURRENT_ADDRESS

  • Article

This object requests the miniport driver to return the address that the NIC currently is using.

The miniport driver should return a unique address for the target NIC. NDISWAN presents the returned value, formatted as an Ethernet address, to higher-level protocols. Consequently, the least-significant bit must not be set in such a returned NIC-specific address to prevent it from being interpreted as an Ethernet multicast address.

The driver of a NIC manufactured by a vendor with an assigned Ethernet ID should use that ID as part of the address it returns for this object. This prevents conflicts with other vendors' assigned Ethernet address ranges.

Requirements

OS Versions: Windows CE .NET 4.0 and later.
Header: Ntddndis.h.
