OID_802_11_SSID (Compact 2013)

3/26/2014

When set, this OID requests that the miniport driver assign a specified value to the network adapter's service set identifier (SSID). The SSID identifies a group of interconnected basic service sets. Setting an SSID results in the following actions:

  • Disassociates the network adapter from any SSID with which it might be associated
  • Turns on the radio if the radio is OFF
  • Sets the SSID by using the specified value, or sets it to any SSID if the SSID is not specified
  • Attempts to associate the network adapter with the new SSID

When queried, this object identifier requests the miniport driver to return the associated network adapter's SSID. If the network adapter is not associated with a SSID, the miniport driver returns the value from the last OID_802_11_SSID set, or returns the SSID of the last access point with which the network adapter was associated.
