Is it an NDIS 6.x driver?

No it's not airpcap. But they don't want us to disclose their name yet :)
I have the driver source code and it does return media type as
NdisMedium802_11_Radio if it receives an OID as I mentioned earlier.
But the driver never sees a request for those OIDs.
In Wireshark I also tried to add code to send OIDs request to the
driver, using wpcap_packet_request(). If I define a new OID on both
side, it works fine. However, when I send an OID of
OID_GEN_MEDIA_SUPPORTED or OID_GEN_MEDIA_IN_USE, the driver never sees
this OID. It's lost somewhere? I still cannot figure out....
Thanks,
Joshua

Are you using an AirPcap adapter?

I'm using Wireshark 1.0.4 with a WiFi device. When I select the device
in capture options panel, I cannot get the expected linktype
DLT_IEEE802_11_RADIO.
I know the device driver is in monitor mode and it works if I manually
add a DLT_IEEE802_11_RADIO type there and choose it.
But how does Wireshark/winpcap get the default type, via a OID request
OID_GEN_MEDIA_SUPPORTED or OID_GEN_MEDIA_IN_USE?
I believe the driver does have support on these two OIDs.
Is this a known problem or is there sth not compatible between my
driver and Wireshark/winpcap? I know Wireshark calls pcap_datalink()
to retrieve the media type.
Many thanks,
Joshua
