OID_802_11_SSID (Windows CE 5.0)
This object identifier, when set, requests that the miniport driver assign a specified value to the NIC's service set identifier (SSID). The SSID identifies a group of interconnected basic service sets. Setting an SSID results in the following actions:
- Disassociating the NIC from any SSID with which it might be associated.
- Turning on the radio if the radio is OFF.
- Setting the SSID with the specified value or setting it to any SSID if the SSID is not specified.
- Attempting to associate the NIC with the new SSID.
When queried, this object identifier requests the miniport driver to return the associated NIC's SSID. If the NIC is not associated with a SSID, the miniport driver returns the value from the last OID_802_11_SSID set, or returns the SSID of the last access point with which the NIC was associated.
