Native 802.11 Operational Configuration
Important The Native 802.11 Wireless LAN interface is deprecated in Windows 10 and later. Please use the WLAN Device Driver Interface (WDI) instead. For more information about WDI, see WLAN Universal Windows driver model.
The following object identifiers (OIDs) set or query the operating attributes of the Native 802.11 miniport driver.

Queries the maximum length, in bytes, of a MAC protocol data unit (MPDU) frame that the PHY can transmit or receive. |
[OID_DOT11_MULTICAST_LIST](https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windows/hardware/ff569388) |
Sets or queries the multicast address list used by the 802.11 station. |
[OID_DOT11_NIC_POWER_STATE](https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windows/hardware/ff569392) |
Sets or queries the power state of the PHY on the 802.11 station. |
[OID_DOT11_NIC_SPECIFIC_EXTENSION](https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windows/hardware/ff569393) |
The independent hardware vendor (IHV) uses this OID for proprietary method requests for its miniport driver. For more information about the use of OID_DOT11_NIC_SPECIFIC_EXTENSION, see [IHV Configuration Extensions](ihv-configuration-extensions.md). |
[OID_DOT11_OPERATION_MODE_CAPABILITY](https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windows/hardware/ff569396) |
Queries the Native 802.11 operation modes that the miniport driver supports. For more information about these operation modes, see [Native 802.11 Operation Modes](native-802-11-operation-modes.md). |
[OID_DOT11_OPTIONAL_CAPABILITY](https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windows/hardware/ff569397) |
Queries the optional WLAN capabilities that the 802.11 station supports. |
[OID_DOT11_PERMANENT_ADDRESS](https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windows/hardware/ff569399) |
Queries the permanent MAC address used by the 802.11 station. This MAC address is typically encoded in the NIC hardware. |
[OID_DOT11_RECV_SENSITIVITY_LIST](https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windows/hardware/ff569407) |
Queries the list of receive sensitivity ranges for all data rates that are supported by the PHY specified in the query request. |
[OID_DOT11_RESET_REQUEST](https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windows/hardware/ff569409) |
When a method request of this OID is made, the miniport driver must reset the specified IEEE layers of the 802.11 station. After OID_DOT11_RESET_REQUEST is set, the driver must transition to the initialization (INIT) state of the current Native 802.11 operation mode. For more information about operation modes and states, see [Native 802.11 Operation Modes](native-802-11-operation-modes.md). |
[OID_DOT11_RF_USAGE](https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windows/hardware/ff569410) |
Queries the radio frequency (RF) usage detected on the wireless media by the PHY on the 802.11 station. |
[OID_DOT11_SCAN_REQUEST](https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windows/hardware/ff569413) |
When set, this OID requests that the 802.11 station perform a survey of all basic service set (BSS) networks within range of the NIC's radio. |
[OID_DOT11_SUPPORTED_DATA_RATES_VALUE](https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windows/hardware/ff569422) |
