- Re: get the device name to create the handle
- Posted by Thomas F. Divine on August 6th, 2003
On Pocket PC 2003 you can communicate with the WLAN adapter in one of two
ways:
1.) Use NDISUIO as a "relay" between your application and the adapter
miniport. This means that you first open NDISUIO, then use the IOCTLs
defined in
uio_ce.c to query NDISUIO's bindings (IOCTL_NDISUIO_QUERY_BINDING) and then
make queries (IOCTL_NDISUIO_QUERY_OID_VALUE).
2.) Use some other NDIS protocol driver as a relay to the adapter miniport.
The PCAUSA Rawether for Windows CE product uses approach No. 2. A common API
can be used on Pocket PC 2002 and Pocket PC 2003.
You can download executables for the Pocket PC 2002 and Pocket PC 2003
versions of PCAUSA's "OID Scope" from the URL
http://www.rawether.net/embedded/WINCE/downloads.htm.
Good luck,

For the first solution, what can be the device name that will be used
for the CreateFile function ? simply "NDISUIO"?

Try "UIO" (#defined as DOS_DEVICE_NAME in ndisuio.h). If that doesn't work,
then look for the "RegisterDevice" call in the NDISUIO code. Examine the
parameters passed to RegisterDevice and you should be able to determine what
to use.
I have never used NDISUIO on CE so I won't be able to give specific help.
You must learn the Windows CE I/O implementation which is different from
"Big Windows" from naming and other aspects - at least from a driver's
perspective.

The help has lots of information on NDISUIO, at least for eVC 4. Here's how
you open the NDISUIO driver:
ndisuioHdl = CreateFile( NDISUIO_DEVICE_NAME, 0, 0, NULL, OPEN_EXISTING,
FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL | FILE_FLAG_OVERLAPPED,
INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE );

I added the topic "NDIS on Windows CE" to the NDIS FAQ at
http://www.ndis.com/faq/default.htm. It provides basic pointers to NDISUIO
information on Windows CE 4.X.

NULL);

I resolved my problem, thanks your help.... And i used the source code
in WRAPI to have example about the queries.
By the way, OPEN_DEVICE doesn't want to work at all ....
