EVT_WIFI_DEVICE_CREATE_ADAPTER callback function (wificx.h)

  • Article

WiFiCx client drivers implement EvtWifiDeviceCreateAdapter to create a NETADAPTER object.

Syntax

EVT_WIFI_DEVICE_CREATE_ADAPTER EvtWifiDeviceCreateAdapter;

NTSTATUS EvtWifiDeviceCreateAdapter(
  WDFDEVICE Device,
  NETADAPTER_INIT *AdapterInit
)
{...}

Parameters

Device

[In] A handle to a framework device object that the client driver obtained from a previous call to WdfDeviceCreate.

AdapterInit

[Inout] A pointer to a NETADAPTER_INIT object that describes the initialization information for the NETADAPTER.

Return value

This callback function returns STATUS_SUCCESS if the operation was successful. Otherwise, it returns an appropriate NTSTATUS error code.

Remarks

A WiFiCx client driver must register an EvtWifiDeviceCreateAdapter callback function by calling WiFiDeviceInitialize.

In its EvtWifiDeviceCreateAdapter callback, the client driver must:

  1. Call NetAdapterCreate to create the new NetAdapter object.

  2. Call WifiAdapterInitialize to initialize the WiFiCx context and associate it with this NetAdapter object.

  3. Call NetAdapterStart to start the adapter.
