NDIS_STATUS_WDI_INDICATION_SAE_AUTH_PARAMS_NEEDED (dot11wificxintf.h)
Important
This topic is part of the WiFiCx driver model. WiFiCx is the Wi-Fi driver model released in Windows 11. We recommend that you use WiFiCx to take advantage of the latest features. The previous Wi-Fi driver model WDI is in maintenance mode and will only receive high priority fixes.
The Wi-Fi adapter sends this indication to request parameters for Simultaneous Authentication of Equals (SAE) authentication.
When the miniport driver is requested to perform SAE authentication with a target BSSID, it needs to request information at various stages of authentication. Initially, it requests parameters for the Commit request frame, then the Confirm request frame if successful. If the driver encounters an irrecoverable timeout or error, it also indicates that to the OS.
For SAE authentication using Wi-Fi 7 MLO, the driver should set:
- the BSSID (WDI_TLV_BSSID) to the peer's Link MAC address.
- the LocalMloLinkBssId (WDI_TLV_MLO_LINK_BSSID) to the local Link MAC address.
This indication is sent during the SAE authentication process. For more information, see WPA3-SAE authentication.
