802.11 Media Configuration

  • Article

The 802.11 device's media access control (MAC) layer is configured through the following OIDs:

  • OID_802_11_FRAGMENTATION_THRESHOLD

    This OID sets the threshold value for fragmenting 802.11 packets. The 802.11 MAC fragments packets whose length exceeds this threshold. This OID can also query the current fragmentation threshold used by the 802.11 MAC.

    Note   When the driver's MiniportInitialize function is called, it is recommended that the miniport driver disable 802.11 fragmentation.

     

  • OID_802_11_RTS_THRESHOLD

    This OID sets the request to send (RTS) threshold value in the 802.11 MAC. The 802.11 MAC invokes the RTS/CTS procedure before sending any packet whose length exceeds the RTS threshold. This OID can also query the RTS threshold used by the 802.11 MAC.

    Note   When the driver's MiniportInitialize function is called, it is recommended that the miniport driver disable RTS by setting the RTS threshold to the maximum value of 2347.
