OID_WW_GEN_LOCK_STATUS

The OID_WW_GEN_LOCK_STATUS OID requests the miniport driver to return information about the NIC's current lock state as one of the following values:

Some wireless devices support external mechanisms to lock the device. If this OID indicates that the device is locked, access to the network is limited in some way.

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 NIC's lock status changes. It can ignore the TriggerValue member that was specified in the OID_WW_GEN_INDICATION_REQUEST.

A NIC cannot be locked or unlocked with this OID request. That is, sets are irrelevant for this OID.

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