Wi-Fi Network List Offload Reference

Important  The Native 802.11 Wireless LAN interface is deprecated in Windows 10 and later. Please use the WLAN Device Driver Interface (WDI) instead. For more information about WDI, see WLAN Universal Windows driver model.

 

This section includes the following Wi-Fi Network List Offload (NLO) topics:

OID_DOT11_OFFLOAD_NETWORK_LIST

DOT11_CHANNEL_HINT

DOT11_OFFLOAD_NETWORK

DOT11_OFFLOAD_NETWORK_LIST_INFO

DOT11_OFFLOAD_NETWORK_STATUS_PARAMETERS

NDIS_STATUS_DOT11_OFFLOAD_NETWORK_STATUS_CHANGED

After the NLO list is scanned, miniport drivers indicate the discovery of networks in the offload list with NDIS_STATUS_DOT11_OFFLOAD_NETWORK_STATUS_CHANGED. This status indication does not end the original offload OID_DOT11_OFFLOAD_NETWORK_LIST request which is perpetual until an updated list is Set. While the offload is in effect, Windows may issue OID_DOT11_SCAN_REQUEST request. Miniport drivers should respond to the request as defined for the OID. Once the response is complete, the miniport driver should resume its offload operation.
