Native 802.11 Miniport Driver Halt

Important  The Native 802.11 Wireless LAN interface is deprecated in Windows 10 and later. Please use the WLAN Device Driver Interface (WDI) instead. For more information about WDI, see WLAN Universal Windows driver model.

 

For the most part, Native 802.11 miniport drivers follow the same guidelines for MiniportHaltEx as other NDIS miniport drivers. For more information about these guidelines, see Halting a Miniport Adapter.

In addition, the 802.11 station must do the following when the driver's MiniportHaltEx function is called:

  • If the 802.11 station is connected to a basic service set (BSS) network, it is recommended that the 802.11 station disconnect from the BSS before the driver returns from MiniportHaltEx.

  • The 802.11 station must turn off all radios on the NIC.

    After the radios are turned off, the 802.11 station must not turn the radios on until the driver's MiniportInitializeEx function is called.
