When the application sends an ioctl command to the driver, the driver in turn sends a different ioctl command to one of the standard. The problem is when this application starts immediately after i log in to windows. The devicespecific commands can choose to use the fields in struct ifreq, but they already convey a standardized meaning, and its unlikely that the driver can adapt the structure to its needs. Using ioctl s and reading from procnetwireless are equivalent except for specification of units and clearing the update indicator flags, which is also driver dependent more on this later. The varlogmessages files shows lots of following messages, does this message indicate any issue. Sending an ioctl command, though, requires calling the somewhat less familiar win32 function deviceiocontrol.
When i dont dispatch the irp back to portcls which i think is the right way to go, dispatchiocontrol returns succes, i get the ioctl in the driver and i successfuly set the status buffer, but. For creating a handle to the driver we will use the createfile api. In the device driver i have created an ioctl function. The device is listed as omnikey 1021 in the device manager, the physical device object name is \device\usbpdo15.
So nowadays every driver has its own set of ioctls to allocate memory and submit. By convention, io control commands indicate the driver they belong to in bits 815 of the command usually given by the ascii code of a character representing the driver, and the driverspecific command in bits 07. The ioctl defines the access required in order to issue the ioctl as well as the method to be used when transferring the data between the driver and the application.

The cmd argument and an optional third argument with varying type are passed to and interpreted by the device associated with fildes the cmd argument selects the control function to be performed and will depend on the device being addressed the arg argument represents additional information.
