OID_WAN_CURRENT_ADDRESS (Compact 2013)

3/26/2014

This object requests the miniport driver to return the address that the network adapter currently is using.

The miniport driver should return a unique address for the target network adapter. NDISWAN presents the returned value, formatted as an Ethernet address, to higher-level protocols. Therefore, the least-significant bit must not be set in such a returned network adapter-specific address to prevent it from being interpreted as an Ethernet multicast address.

The driver of a network adapter that is manufactured by a vendor with an assigned Ethernet ID should use that ID as part of the address it returns for this object. This prevents conflicts with other vendors' assigned Ethernet address ranges.
