WZC vs OID_802_11_SSID...

hi, I'm building my wireless lan driver and encounter the following situation:

After I've finished to connect to AccessPoint, and PING is working normally.
After couple of minitus, I will receive OID_802_11_SSID again. I don't know
why WZC send this OID to me again, but if I use my utility(just like WZC) it
works well. That means I wouldn't receive this OID under my utility when PING
is ok.

Could somebody tell me when will WZC send OID_802_11_SSID(ssid field
included the name in Perferred Networks) again? If my connection is
established, it seems WZC shouldn't send this OID to me?

Any help, thank you very much.

If WZC and your replacement for WZC are both active at the same time, they
will both be fighting against each other for control and you will discover
conflicts like this.

Perhaps you should look at the new Wireless Provisioning Service available
in XPSP2 at http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/device/network/wireless/wps.mspx.

hi,
I've removed my utility from Windows completely as I enable WZC.

Due to SP2 WSP ddk & sdk it seems impossible to stop wzc service which do
work in SP1 with functionality defined for wce5 ( and 4 too btw ) ?

hi,

After doing some experiments, I found that WZC think me as disconnect. So
WZC send OID_802_11_SSID to me.

But I'm connecting to AccessPoint. I've the following obervation:

step 1: Select AccessPoint to WPA-PSK authentication and encrypt by TKIP.(In
AP)
step 2: Connect STA to AccessPoint.
step 3: Ping OK.
(Here, AccessPoint is existed in Preferred Network)
step 4: Change the same AccessPoint to Open authentication and encrypt by
WEP RC4 40 bits.(In AP)
Step 5: Modify AccessPoint's configuration from Perferred Network, ie.
change to WEP from previous TKIP.
step 6: Ping is ok but the right botton led is still off.
(Here, I guess WZC is waitting for 4-way handshake...)

So WZC's preferred Network memories old configration? I've verified by other
vendors WLAN NIC and has the same result.
