STATUS_NDIS_INVALID_DATA

The structure is accepted, but its requested value is not

STATUS_NDIS_INVALID_DATA identifies an OID-specific validation failure. NDIS does not validate the contents of every OID payload on behalf of the miniport; the driver must reject values that are out of range, malformed, or incompatible with the hardware and current configuration.

This differs from invalid length. A buffer can be correctly sized and aligned yet still contain an illegal enumeration value, address, bitmask, capability combination, or configuration request.

Evidence that narrows it

  • Capture the decoded OID value rather than only its raw buffer, including all bit flags and enumerations.
  • Compare the requested value with the adapter capabilities and the OID-specific valid ranges.
  • Preserve the returned status before retrying with defaults, because an automatic fallback can conceal which policy or value was rejected.
