I could not find in any library or include file.
I think it's fairly new.

Remarks
The version number specified by dwClientVersion and pdwNegotiatedVersion is a composite version number made up of both major and minor versions. The major version is specified by the high-order word, and the minor version is specified by the low-order word. The macros WLAN_API_VERSION_MAJOR(_v) and WLAN_API_VERSION_MINOR(_v) return the major and minor version numbers respectively. You can construct a version number using the macro WLAN_API_MAKE_VERSION(_major, _minor).
Windows XP with SP3 and Wireless LAN API for Windows XP with SP2: WlanOpenHandle will return an error message if the Wireless Zero Configuration (WZC) service has not been started or if the WZC service is not responsive.
