Patent ID: 7814179

Claim:
A system for using a user-mode module to kernel-mode driver interface to send commands to and receive information from a kernel-mode wireless wide area network (WWAN) device driver, the system comprising computer-executable modules encoded on a computer-storage medium, the modules comprising: a user-mode entity for sending an object identifier (OID) from a first set of object identifiers (OIDs), through a user-mode module to kernel-mode driver interface, to the WWAN device driver and for receiving an OID from a second set of OIDs, through the user-mode module to kernel-mode driver interface, from the WWAN device driver; wherein, after sending the OID from the first set, the user-mode entity is permitted to send further OIDs from the first set to the WWAN device driver through the user-mode module to kernel-mode driver interface, prior to receiving a response from the WWAN device driver, wherein the second set of OIDs comprises OIDs for indicating to the user-mode entity that a WWAN device associated with the WWAN device driver has been provisioned by a WWAN service provider.
