This feature is also available on Windows Server 2008 R2 with the Wireless LAN Service installed.
If the physical wireless adapter is disabled, this virtual device will be removed as well. The lifetime of this virtual device is tied to the physical wireless adapter.
#MICROSOFT VIRTUAL WIFI MINIPORT ADAPTER HP G62 SOFTWARE#
This virtual device is used exclusively for performing software access point (SoftAP) connections and is not present in the list returned by the WlanEnumInterfaces function. This virtual device normally shows up in the “Network Connections Folder” as ‘Wireless Network Connection 2’ with a Device Name of ‘Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport adapter’ if the computer has a single wireless network adapter. On Windows 7 and later, the operating system installs a virtual device if a Hosted Network capable wireless adapter is present on the machine. However, the ability to enable the wireless Hosted Network may be restricted by group policy in a domain. This call could fail if Hosted Network state is wlan_hosted_network_unavailable.Īny Hosted Network state change caused by this function would be automatically undone if the calling application closes its calling handle (by calling WlanCloseHandle with the hClientHandle parameter) or if the process ends.Īny user can call the WlanHostedNetworkStartUsing function to start the Hosted Network. The buffering protocol is implemented in the kernel and the switching logic is implemented as a user-level service.
#MICROSOFT VIRTUAL WIFI MINIPORT ADAPTER HP G62 DRIVER#
Virtual WiFi interacts with the card device driver at the lower end, and network protocols at the upper end. Successful calls must be matched by calls to WlanHostedNetworkStopUsing function. Virtual WiFi is implemented as an NDIS intermediate driver, and a user-level service in Windows XP. The WlanHostedNetworkStartUsing function is an extension to native wireless APIs added to support the wireless Hosted Network on Windows 7 and on Windows Server 2008 R2 with the Wireless LAN Service installed.Ī client application calls the WlanHostedNetworkStartUsing function to start the wireless Hosted Network. This error is returned if the WLAN AutoConfig Service is not running.įormatMessage to obtain the message string for the returned error. This error is returned if the wireless Hosted Network is disabled by group policy on a domain. The resource is not in the correct state to perform the requested operation. This error is returned if the handle specified in the hClientHandle parameter was not found in the handle table. This error is returned if any of the following conditions occur:Ī handle is invalid. If the function fails, the return value may be one of the following return codes. If the function succeeds, the return value is ERROR_SUCCESS. Possible values for the failure reason are from the WLAN_HOSTED_NETWORK_REASON enumeration type defined in the Wlanapi.h header file. The client's session handle, returned by a previous call to the WlanOpenHandle function.Īn optional pointer to a value that receives the failure reason, if the call to the WlanHostedNetworkStartUsing function fails. PWLAN_HOSTED_NETWORK_REASON pFailReason, Syntax DWORD WlanHostedNetworkStartUsing( The WlanHostedNetworkStartUsing function starts the wireless Hosted Network.
