MB Adapter General Attribute Requirements

  • Article

The following table describes the values that miniport drivers should set the member variables of the NDIS_MINIPORT_ADAPTER_GENERAL_ATTRIBUTES structure to. MB miniport drivers must use these values when they call NdisMSetMiniportAttributes from their MiniportInitializeEx function, during miniport driver initialization.

Field in INF file Recommended values

IfType

GSM-based devices must specify IF_TYPE_WWANPP.

CDMA-based devices specify IF_TYPE_WWANPP2.

The value must match the *IfType value specified in the miniport driver's INF file.

MediaType

The value must match the *MediaType value specified in the miniport driver's INF file. For example, either NdisMediumWirelessWan or NdisMedium802_3.

PhysicalMediumType

The value must match the *PhysicalMediaType value specified in the miniport driver's INF file. The value must be NdisPhysicalMediumWirelessWan.

AccessType

If the value in MediaType is specified as NdisMediumWirelessWan, specify NET_IF_ACCESS_POINT_TO_POINT for AccessType. If MediaType is NdisMedium802_3, specify NET_IF_ACCESS_BROADCAST.
