WifiDeviceSetDeviceCapabilities function (wificx.h)

The WifiDeviceSetDeviceCapabilities function sets the device capabilities for a WiFiCx device.

Syntax

NTSTATUS WifiDeviceSetDeviceCapabilities(
  WDFDEVICE                      Device,
  const WIFI_DEVICE_CAPABILITIES *DeviceCapabilities
);

Parameters

Device

A handle to a framework device object the client driver obtained from a previous call to WdfDeviceCreate.

DeviceCapabilities

A pointer to a client driver-allocated and initialized WIFI_DEVICE_CAPABILITIES structure.

Return value

Returns STATUS_SUCCESS if the operation succeeds. Otherwise, this function may return an appropriate NTSTATUS error code.

Remarks

Client drivers typically call WifiDeviceSetDeviceCapabilities within EvtDevicePrepareHardware.

Call WIFI_DEVICE_CAPABILITIES_INIT to initialize the WIFI_DEVICE_CAPABILITIES structure and fill in its Size field. Then call WifiDeviceSetDeviceCapabilities to report device capabilities to WiFiCx.
