STATUS_NDIS_DOT11_AUTO_CONFIG_ENABLED
Windows WLAN auto-configuration is controlling the Native 802.11 setting
STATUS_NDIS_DOT11_AUTO_CONFIG_ENABLED appears when a wireless parameter change conflicts with automatic WLAN configuration. Native 802.11 miniports expose operation mode and media-specific OIDs, but Windows components may own scanning, connection, roaming, and profile-driven configuration while auto-config is enabled.
The fix is not to force the same OID repeatedly. Identify whether the caller is a driver, management service, test tool, or vendor utility trying to override a setting that WLAN AutoConfig or policy controls. Use the supported WLAN profile or driver model path instead of racing the auto-config owner.
Evidence that narrows it
- Record the exact 802.11 OID and the interface operation mode at failure time.
- Check whether WLAN AutoConfig, group policy, or a vendor service owns that setting.
- Separate infrastructure-station configuration from Extensible AP or monitor/test modes.
