Re: OID_DOT11_XXX OIDs?

Hi Paul:

Only OID_802_11_XXX OIDs appear in the sample driver you mentioned..
I don't see any OID_DOT11_XXX OIDs.
(I work with the 5.0 Platform Builder).
Does this mean the support of the OID_DOT11_XXX set is optional?
Or these OIDs are not implemented in the miniport driver?

Thanks.
