OID_WAN_HEADER_FORMAT (Windows CE 5.0)
This object requests the miniport driver to return or to set the address-header format used, as either of the following system-defined values:
| Address header | Description |
|---|---|
| NdisWanHeaderEthernet | Selects Ethernet-emulation format. |
| NdisWanHeaderNative | Selects the format native to the NdisWanMediumXXX subtype supported by the underlying driver. NDISWAN always uses Ethernet. |
For a query, the miniport driver returns a list of the address formats that the NIC driver supports. For a set, the miniport driver subsequently uses the given type to format headers for this binding.
If an underlying NDIS driver does not support a header format that a protocol recognizes, that protocol's attempt to bind to the underlying driver fails. A NIC driver is not required to support both address types of header format but should if it can.
Requirements
OS Versions: Windows CE .NET 4.0 and later.
Header: Ntddndis.h.
