I've given you full information on what you need to do (set the disable
entry, to prevent the card from being enabled when you reboot, and unbind
the adapter, to disable it now).  If you don't want to do it, that's fine,
but I'm done repeating the same information.

Here, I'll point you to some code. In the Windows CE public folder
structure, find common\oak\drivers\netsamp\ndisconfig. That shows how to
do
the unbind operation (as well as the bind, rebind, and several others).

I've already done this. You have to set that registry key to prevent the
driver from being *loaded* (so there's no instantaneous effect; it only
does something the next time the driver might be loaded during boot),
AND
you have to unbind the adapter.

You understand? You must do BOTH OPERATIONS in order to achieve what you
want.

Hi,

I tried this registry setting, but no way my wlan is not getting
disabled.

Can you please let me´know which NDIS API does this functionality for
WLAN enable and disable.

here, when i check with wireless manager for wifi on/off,
there is an event set with miniportsetinformation and
OID_PNP_SET_POWER is called and the system goes into wakeup mode or
sleep mode.

Here when i reset my device, i want WLAN to be in disable mode.
But the problem here is WLAN is always in enable when i reboot. via
wireless manager only i can make it off.

Thanks,

Thanks Paul,

I have gone through this ndisconfig file.
Yes i have seen this ioctl commands to bind, unbind and rebind....,
unable to figure out what exactly i need.

and also i m not getting when i set the registry key for D4, WLAN is
not getting disabled.
i can see in the remote registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\comm
\NdisPower
my adapter key value is set to 4.

when i disable the WLAN, the key remains the same.
it is not getting in to sleep mode with value 3.

I hope i have to do some thing on miniportshutdown or else.
Is this anything related to power management.

Thanks once again for prompt replies.
