1/6/2010

This enumerated type holds the 802.11 authentication mode value to invoke Open system or Shared Key authentication services.

Syntax

typedef enum _NDIS_802_11_AUTHENTICATION_MODE {
  Ndis802_11AuthModeOpen,
  Ndis802_11AuthModeShared,
  Ndis802_11AuthModeAutoSwitch,
  Ndis802_11AuthModeMax,
} NDIS_802_11_AUTHENTICATION_MODE, *PNDIS_802_11_AUTHENTICATION_MODE;

Elements

• Ndis802_11AuthModeOpen
  Specifies 802.11 open authentication mode. There are no checks when accepting clients in this mode.

• Ndis802_11AuthModeShared
  Specifies 802.11 shared authentication that uses a pre-shared wired equivalent privacy (WEP) key.

• Ndis802_11AuthModeAutoSwitch
  Specifies auto-switch mode. When using auto-switch mode, the NIC tries 802.11 shared authentication mode first. If shared mode fails, the NIC attempts to use 802.11 open authentication mode.

• Ndis802_11AuthModeMax
  Defines the upper bound.

Remarks

OID_802_11_AUTHENTICATION_MODE uses this type to specify authentication mode. When set, this object identifier requests the miniport driver to set the authentication mode to a specified value. When queried, this object identifier requests the current mode.
