OID_WW_GEN_NETWORK_ID

As a query, the OID_WW_GEN_NETWORK_ID OID requests the miniport driver to return the ID of the network with which its NIC is currently configured to communicate.

As a set, this OID requests the miniport driver to reconfigure its NIC to communicate with the network designated by the given ID.

This request uses a WW_NETWORK_ID structure, defined as equivalent to the NDIS_VAR_DATA_DESCstructure, which was defined previously. The buffer contains a network-ordered sequence of binary byte values.

If any bound protocol has enabled indications with OID_WW_GEN_INDICATION_REQUEST, the miniport driver must call NdisMIndicateStatusto notify such protocol(s) if the network its NIC communicates with changes. It can ignore the TriggerValue member that was specified in the OID_WW_GEN_INDICATION_REQUEST.

Note   This OID is not available for use beginning with Windows Vista.
