DOT11EXTIHV_RECEIVE_INDICATION callback

Description

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 operating system calls the Dot11ExtIhvReceiveIndication function to issue an IHV-specific indication to the IHV Extensions DLL from the wireless LAN (WLAN) adapter.

Parameters

hIhvExtAdapter [in, optional]

The handle used by the IHV Extensions DLL to reference the WLAN adapter. This handle value was specified through a previous call to the Dot11ExtIhvInitAdapter IHV Handler function.

indicationType [in]

The DOT11EXT_IHV_INDICATION_TYPE indication type.

uBufferLength [in]

The length, in bytes, of the data within the buffer that is referenced by the pvBuffer parameter.

pvBuffer [in, optional]

The pointer to a buffer, allocated by the operating system, which contains the notification data. The IHV is responsible for defining the format of the notification data.

Return value

If the call succeeds, the function returns ERROR_SUCCESS. Otherwise, it returns an error code defined in Winerror.h.

Prototype

DOT11EXTIHV_RECEIVE_INDICATION Dot11ExtIhvReceiveIndication;

DWORD APIENTRY Dot11ExtIhvReceiveIndication(
  _In_opt_ HANDLE                       hIhvExtAdapter,
  _In_     DOT11EXT_IHV_INDICATION_TYPE indicationType,
  _In_     ULONG                        uBufferLength,
  _In_opt_ LPVOID                       pvBuffer
)
{ ... }

Remarks

When the Native 802.11 miniport driver, which manages the WLAN adapter, makes an NDIS_STATUS_MEDIA_SPECIFIC_INDICATION indication, the operating system forwards the notification data to the IHV Extensions DLL by calling the Dot11ExtIhvReceiveIndication function.
