NDIS Wake-on-LAN Support

  • 项目

Some NDIS miniports support wake-on-LAN functionality. To achieve this, you can set the miniport to the D3 power state in the Power Manager. NDISthen internally translates the D3 power state to the appropriate NDIS_DEVICE_POWER_STATE. You may need to configure the specific wake-on-LAN function used for this purpose by using a device-specific method such as a Control Panel application. For example, a wake-on-pattern match may require that you program a specific pattern into the adapter. Similarly, if the adapter supports multiple types of wake-on-LANs, you must select a method that must be programmed outside of the Power Manager interface. The following list shows you ways to place an adapter into the D3 power state during a suspend state.

  • Update the suspend system power state to enable the miniport to remain in the D3 state during a suspend state.
  • To keep the device powered during a suspend state, set your application to call SetPowerRequirement using the POWER_FORCE flag.
