I've never run into it, so I don't have any special insight. You might
verify that you don't have any Unicode/ASCII issues with strings passed back
and forth and you might see if you can spot what the meaning of the bogus
SSID value is when it comes. Other than that, capture the serial debug
messages and keep adding more to the driver until something crops up,
probably...

No. It doesn't happen when I only use WZC. Our driver and the application
are
still in development so the driver is likely the problem. I'm just trying
to
determine what the driver is doing wrong. I can't find an answer to why
WZC
service or ndis sends the bogus ssid to disconnect. Is the driver not
sending
proper status or what. It seems to be an ndis thing because it still
happens
when I issue "wzctool -disablewzcsvc". If you know of any info on these
kinds of details, just let me know. Thanks again for your time.

I've never seen that happen. I've got programs that tell a card to
connect
to a given SSID value and it just does, regardless of whether WZC is
currently expecting it to be disconnected or connected to another SSID or
whatever. Does this happen when you use WZCTOOL to connect to the SSID
that
your code is trying to connect to?

Paul,
Thanks for the response. What I have seen is that ndis/wzc sends a
bogus
ssid when it wants to ensure that the link is disconnected. So my
problem
is
that my utility tells the driver to connect. The dd connects to the AP.
Then
soon after ndis or wzc sends the bogus ssid to the driver which causes
a
disconnect.
My question is why would ndis or wzc do this. Also, could I be missing
some
kind of status reporting to ndis. The driver sends an
NdisMIndicateStatus
upon connect and disconnect.
Thanks for your help.

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 -disablewzcsvcThis 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 wzcsvcI 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
