Values

Type	Description
UINT8	Specifies if this is a first-time connection request (value of 0) or a roaming connection (value of 1).
UINT8	Specifies if this is a connection to a network with hidden/non-broadcast SSIDs. This value is 1 when connecting to a hidden network.
UINT8	This sets the dot11ExcludeUnencrypted MIB. When this value is false (0) and the cipher algorithm is WEP, the port must connect to APs that do not set the privacy field in management frames.
UINT8	Specifies if MFP is enabled (1) or disabled (0). The station must advertise its 802.11w capabilities in the association request if and only if this value is set to 1 (enabled).
UINT8	Specifies if host-FIPS mode is enabled (1) or disabled (0).
WDI_ASSOC_STATUS (UINT32)	Specifies the roaming needed reason. If this is triggered due to NDIS_STATUS_WDI_INDICATION_ROAMING_NEEDED, this contains the reason from the roam indication.
WDI_ROAM_TRIGGER (UINT32)	Specifies whether this roam is a critical roam because the AP has set the Disassociation Imminent bit in its BSS Transition Request action frame.
UINT8	Specifies if 802.11v BSS transition is supported. If this bit is set to 1, the Station must set the BSS Transition field of the Extended capabilities element (Bit 19) to 1 in the association request.
