This topic is part of the WDI driver model released in Windows 10. The WDI driver model is in maintenance mode and will only receive high priority fixes. 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 MiniportWdiOpenAdapter handler function is used by the Microsoft component to initiate the Open Task operation on the IHV driver.

This is a WDI miniport handler inside NDIS_MINIPORT_DRIVER_WDI_CHARACTERISTICS.

This call must complete quickly. If the open operation is successfully started, the IHV must return NDIS_STATUS_SUCCESS and call the OpenAdapterComplete handler that was passed into MiniportWdiAllocateAdapter with the NDIS_WDI_INIT_PARAMETERS structure.

Note  You must declare the function by using the MINIPORT_WDI_OPEN_ADAPTER type. For more information, see the following Examples section.
