} WLAN_INTF_OPCODE, *PWLAN_INTF_OPCODE;

Constants

wlan_intf_opcode_autoconf_start

Not used.

wlan_intf_opcode_autoconf_enabled

The opcode used to set or query whether auto config is enabled.

wlan_intf_opcode_background_scan_enabled

The opcode used to set or query whether background scan is enabled.

Background scan can only be disabled when the interface is in the connected state. Background scan is disabled if at least one client disables it. If the interface gets disconnected, background scan will be enabled automatically.

wlan_intf_opcode_media_streaming_mode

The opcode used to set or query the media streaming mode of the driver.

The media streaming mode can only be set when the interface is in the connected state. The media streaming mode is enabled if at least one client enables it. If the interface gets disconnected, the media streaming mode is disabled automatically

wlan_intf_opcode_radio_state

The opcode used to set or query the radio state.

wlan_intf_opcode_bss_type

The opcode used to set or query the BSS type of the interface.

wlan_intf_opcode_interface_state

The opcode used to query the state of the interface. This opcode can only be used in a query operation with the WlanQueryInterface function.

wlan_intf_opcode_current_connection

The opcode used to query information about the current connection of the interface.

This opcode can only be used in a query operation with the WlanQueryInterface function. If the interface is in disconnected or disconnecting state, WlanQueryInterface function returns ERROR_INVALID_STATE.

wlan_intf_opcode_channel_number

The opcose used to query the current channel on which the wireless interface is operating. This opcode can only be used in a query operation with the WlanQueryInterface function.

wlan_intf_opcode_supported_infrastructure_auth_cipher_pairs

The opcode used to query the supported auth/cipher pairs for infrastructure mode. This opcode can only be used in a query operation with the WlanQueryInterface function.

wlan_intf_opcode_supported_adhoc_auth_cipher_pairs

The opcode used to query the supported auth/cipher pairs for ad hoc mode. This opcode can only be used in a query operation with the WlanQueryInterface function.

wlan_intf_opcode_supported_country_or_region_string_list

The opcode used to query the list of supported country or region strings. This opcode can only be used in a query operation with the WlanQueryInterface function.

wlan_intf_opcode_current_operation_mode

The opcode used to set or query the current operation mode of the wireless interface. For more information about operation modes, see Native 802.11 Operation Modes.

wlan_intf_opcode_supported_safe_mode

The opcode used to query whether the miniport/NIC combination supports Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) mode. This opcode can only be used in a query operation with the WlanQueryInterface function. FIPS mode is also known as safe mode. This wireless safe mode is different than the operating system safe mode.

wlan_intf_opcode_certified_safe_mode

The opcode used to query whether the miniport/NIC combination is FIPS certified. This opcode can only be used in a query operation with the WlanQueryInterface function.

wlan_intf_opcode_hosted_network_capable

The opcode used to query for Hosted Network support in the device driver associated with the Wireless interface. This opcode can only be used in a query operation with the WlanQueryInterface function.

The data type returned for this opcode by a query is a Boolean. A value returned of TRUE indicates Hosted Network is supported. A value of FALSE indicates Hosted Network is not supported.

This value is an extension to native wireless APIs added to support the wireless Hosted Network on Windows 7 and on Windows Server 2008 R2 with the Wireless LAN Service installed.

wlan_intf_opcode_management_frame_protection_capable

The opcode used to query whether Managememt Frame Protection (MFP) is supported in the device driver associated with the Wireless interface. This opcode can only be used in a query operation with the WlanQueryInterface function.

MFP is defined in the IEEE 802.11w-2009 amendment to 802.11 standard.

This value is supported on Windows 8 and on Windows Server 8 Beta.

wlan_intf_opcode_autoconf_end

Not used.

wlan_intf_opcode_msm_start

Not used.

wlan_intf_opcode_statistics

The opcode used to query driver statistics. This opcode can only be used in a query operation with the WlanQueryInterface function.

wlan_intf_opcode_rssi

Opcode used to query the received signal strength. This opcode can only be used in a query operation with the WlanQueryInterface function.

wlan_intf_opcode_msm_end

Not used.

wlan_intf_opcode_security_start

Not used.

wlan_intf_opcode_security_end

Not used.

wlan_intf_opcode_ihv_start

Not used.

wlan_intf_opcode_ihv_end

Not used.

Remarks

The WLAN_INTF_OPCODE enumerated type defines the possible opcodes that can be passed in the OpCode parameter to the WlanQueryInterface and WlanSetInterface functions to query or set parameters on a wireless interface.
