Why I can not comunicate with Ndis miniport driver on Win98?

Hi, all
       I met a strange probelm on Win98, I want to configure my USB Wireless Lan(802.11b) adapter in my application, I can use CreateFile() to get a handle successfully, but I can not send IOCTL_NDIS_QUERY_GLOBAL_STATS down. My code is,
HANDLE hMac = CreateFile(
szMACFileName,
0,      // Device Query Access
FILE_SHARE_READ ,
NULL,
OPEN_EXISTING,
0,
INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE
);

if(hMac == INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE)
return FALSE;

*pBytesReturn = 0;
    if( !DeviceIoControl(
            hMac,
            IOCTL_NDIS_QUERY_GLOBAL_STATS,
            &OidQueryCode,
            sizeof(OidQueryCode),
            InformationBuffer,
            InformationBufferLength,
            pBytesReturn,
            NULL
            ))
    {
TRACE(\"Query Information Failed!! 0x%lx(%08x) \\n\", GetLastError(), OidQueryCode);
CloseHandle(hMac);
return FALSE;
    }

  CloseHandle(hMac);
  Anybody has ideas about it?

IOCTL_NDIS_QUERY_GLOBAL_STATS is NOT supported on Windows 9X/ME.

Sorry.

Robin,

The link in Stephan\'s previous message describes the only ways that we know
of.

To clarify: I think the IOCTL method will work on ME.  However, as the
IOCTL name suggests -- keying in on the word QUERY -- the IOCTL method can
only be used to query information -- not set.  To do sets, you could use
WMI for most OIDs, but XPSP1 and following, many of the 802.11 OIDs are
read-only.  Furthermore, WMI (WBEM) is not installed by default in 98/98SE.
 The protocol method is the only option you have -- until XPSP2.
