Important The Native 802.11 Wireless LAN interface is deprecated in Windows 10 and later. Please use the WLAN Device Driver Interface (WDI) instead. For more information about WDI, see WLAN Universal Windows driver model.
The IHV Extensions DLL calls the Dot11ExtRequestVirtualStation function to request that the operating system create a virtual 802.11 station.
hDot11PrimaryHandle [in, optional]A handle used by the operating system to reference the primary physical wireless LAN (WLAN) adapter. This handle value was received as the hDot11SvcHandle parameter through a previous call to the Dot11ExtIhvInitAdapter IHV Handler function.
pvReservedThis parameter is reserved for use by the operating system and should be NULL.
If the call succeeds, the function returns ERROR_SUCCESS. Otherwise, it returns an error code defined in Winerror.h.
DWORD WINAPI * Dot11ExtRequestVirtualStation(
_In_opt_ HANDLE hDot11PrimaryHandle,
_Reserved_ LPVOID pvReserved
);
When this request function completes successfully, the operating system begins to process the request to create a virtual station. It is possible that the operating system will call the Dot11ExtIhvInitAdapter IHV Handler function to initialize the virtual station before or after the call to Dot11ExtRequestVirtualStation returns.
After the operating system creates the new virtual station, the IHV Extensions DLL should expect to receive a call to the Dot11ExtIhvInitAdapter IHV Handler function. In this call, the operating system passes a handle to the new virtual adapter through the hDot11SvcHandle parameter.
