Setting Information for a Connectionless Miniport Driver (NDIS 5.1)

  • Article

Note   NDIS 5. x has been deprecated and is superseded by NDIS 6. x. For new NDIS driver development, see Network Drivers Starting with Windows Vista. For information about porting NDIS 5. x drivers to NDIS 6. x, see Porting NDIS 5.x Drivers to NDIS 6.0.

To set an OID maintained by a connectionless miniport driver, a bound protocol calls NdisRequestand passes a structure of type NDIS_REQUEST that specifies the object (OID) being queried and that points to a buffer that contains the value to which the object should be set. The call to NdisRequestcauses NDIS to call the miniport driver's MiniportSetInformationfunction, which sets the object with the supplied value.

The call to MiniportSetInformationcan complete synchronously or asynchronously. To complete the call asynchronously, the miniport driver calls NdisMSetInformationComplete. The following diagram illustrates setting information in a connectionless miniport driver (per binding).
