Windows Driver Kit DDI reference (ne-dot11wificxtypes-wdi_scan_type)

Description

[!IMPORTANT] This topic is part of the WiFiCx driver model. WiFiCx is the Wi-Fi driver model released in Windows 11. We recommend that you use WiFiCx to take advantage of the latest features. The previous Wi-Fi driver model WDI is in maintenance mode and will only receive high priority fixes.

The WDI_SCAN_TYPE enumeration defines scan types.

Constants

WDI_SCAN_TYPE_ACTIVE_ONLY:1

The port should transmit a probe request on the channels that it scans. Even for active scans, the port must follow regulatory restrictions on the channel and must not scan on channels that would need a passive scan.

WDI_SCAN_TYPE_PASSIVE_ONLY:2

The port should not transmit a probe request on the channels that it scans.

WDI_SCAN_TYPE_AUTO:3

The port can perform an active or passive can or can use a combination of both scan types. It should prefer using Active scans when possible. This is the default scan type setting.

WDI_SCAN_TYPE_MAX_VALUE:0xFFFF

The maximum value for this type.

Remarks

The WDI_SCAN_TYPE enum is a value in the WDI_TLV_SCAN_MODE and WDI_TLV_ADAPTER_NLO_SCAN_MODE TLVs.
