Re: turning off wzc (zero config for 802.11)

Anyone can send OIDs to the driver and you *must* handle those which you
don't understand or support correctly. If the only problem is this unknown
OID, simply returning NDIS_STATUS_INVALID_OID. I would not conclude that
just because you're getting an OID that you don't send yourself that WZC is
still running. NDIS can send OIDs, some of which you may not be handling.

I'm working with Windows Mobile 5 and have our own configuration utility.
This utility allows the user to make a connection using our own
supplicant.
When I try to make the connection to an open AP, the connection is
successful
until wzc service or something else sends an OID to the driver with an
invalid ssid.

I am trying two approaches. One, just turn off wzc service using
wzctool -disablewzcsvc
This does not stop the OID being sent to the driver. Is there another way
to
really disable wzc service? I see on XP it is advised to use
net stop wzcsvc
I would like to keep wzc in the image so that it can be used for testing.

Another approach would be to make my application partially compatible with
wzc so that it knows that a valid connection is made.

Can anyone help with these questions?

Thank you,
David
