OID_802_11_SUPPORTED_RATES (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)

1/6/2010

This object identifier requests that the miniport driver return its NIC's data rate set, which includes the data rates that the NIC's radio supports.

Data rate sets are encoded as eight octets. Each of these describes a single rate in units of 0.5 Mbps. Rates from the 802.11 BSSBasicRateSet that are included in the supported rates are used for control and broadcast frames.

Each supported rate from the BSSBasicRateSet is encoded as an octet with the most significant bit (bit 7) set to 1. For example, a 1 Mbps rate in the BSSBasicRateSet is encoded as 0x82.

Rates that are not included in the BSSBasicRateSet are encoded with the most significant bit set to zero (0). For example, a 2 Mbps rate that does not belong to the BSSBasicRateSet is encoded as 0x04.
