DOT11_SSID structure

Applies to: desktop apps only

A DOT11_SSID structure contains the SSID of an interface.

Syntax

typedef struct _DOT11_SSID {
  ULONG uSSIDLength;
  UCHAR ucSSID[DOT11_SSID_MAX_LENGTH];
} DOT11_SSID, *PDOT11_SSID;

Members

uSSIDLength

The length, in bytes, of the ucSSID array.

ucSSID

The SSID. DOT11_SSID_MAX_LENGTH is set to 32.

Remarks

The SSID that is specified by the ucSSID member is not a null-terminated ASCII string. The length of the SSID is determined by the uSSIDLength member.

A wildcard SSID is an SSID whose uSSIDLength member is set to zero. When the desired SSID is set to the wildcard SSID, the 802.11 station can connect to any basic service set (BSS) network.
