Constants
NdisMedium802_3 Specifies an Ethernet (802.3) network. |
NdisMedium802_5 Specifies a Token Ring (802.5) network. Note Not supported in Windows 8 or later. |
NdisMediumFddi Specifies a Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI) network. Note Not supported in Windows Vista/Windows Server 2008 or later. |
NdisMediumWan Specifies a wide area network. This type covers various forms of point-to-point and WAN NICs, as well as variant address/header formats that must be negotiated between the protocol driver and the underlying driver after the binding is established. |
NdisMediumLocalTalk Specifies a LocalTalk network. |
NdisMediumDix Specifies an Ethernet network for which the drivers use the DIX Ethernet header format. |
NdisMediumArcnetRaw Specifies an ARCNET network. Note Not supported in Windows Vista/Windows Server 2008 or later. |
NdisMediumArcnet878_2 Specifies an ARCNET (878.2) network. Note Not supported in Windows Vista/Windows Server 2008 or later. |
NdisMediumAtm Specifies an ATM network. Connection-oriented client protocol drivers can bind themselves to an underlying miniport driver that returns this value. Otherwise, legacy protocol drivers bind themselves to the system-supplied LanE intermediate driver, which reports its medium type as either of NdisMedium802_3 or NdisMedium802_5, depending on how the LanE driver is configured by the network administrator. |
NdisMediumWirelessWan Specifies a wireless network. NDIS 5.X miniport drivers that support wireless LAN (WLAN) or wireless WAN (WWAN) packets declare their medium as NdisMedium802_3 and emulate Ethernet to higher-level NDIS drivers. Note Starting with Windows 7, this media type is supported and can be used for Mobile Broadband. |
NdisMediumIrda Specifies an infrared (IrDA) network. |
NdisMediumBpc Specifies a broadcast PC network. |
NdisMediumCoWan Specifies a wide area network in a connection-oriented environment. |
NdisMedium1394 Specifies an IEEE 1394 (fire wire) network. Note Not supported in Windows Vista/Windows Server 2008 or later. |
NdisMediumInfiniBand Specifies an InfiniBand network. |
NdisMediumTunnel Specifies a tunnel network. |
NdisMediumNative802_11 Specifies a native IEEE 802.11 network. |
NdisMediumLoopback Specifies an NDIS loopback network. |
NdisMediumWiMAX Specifies an IEEE 802.16 WiMAX network. |
NdisMediumIP Specifies a generic medium that is capable of sending and receiving raw IP packets. |
NdisMediumMax A maximum value for testing purposes. |
Requirements
