OID_WW_TAC_DEVICE_EXCEPTION

The OID_WW_TAC_DEVICE_EXCEPTION OID requests the miniport driver to return various NIC-related device conditions. Protocols can query for these conditions or can request to receive these conditions if device operations occur. Queries receive the most recently recorded conditions.

Return values from this request are limited to the values contained in the WW_TAC_DEV_EXCEPTION enumeration. The following lists the valid values.

  • DATATAC_DEVX_OK
    There are no known NIC-related device conditions.

  • DATATAC_DEVX_MISSING
    The NIC was removed.

  • DATATAC_DEVX_POST_ERROR
    Power On Self Text (POST) of the NIC failed.

  • DATATAC_DEVX_ERROR
    An unspecified device related error occurred. The device should possibly be returned for service.

If any bound protocol has enabled indications with OID_WW_GEN_INDICATION_REQUEST, the miniport driver must call NdisMIndicateStatusto notify such protocol(s) that the status of an operation generated a status condition from the preceding list. It can ignore the TriggerValue member that was specified in the OID_WW_GEN_INDICATION_REQUEST.

Sets are irrelevant for this OID.

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