NdisChainBufferAtFront function

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 x has been deprecated and is superseded by NDIS 6.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.

NdisChainBufferAtFront links a given buffer descriptor to the head of the buffer-descriptor chain attached to a packet descriptor.

);

Parameters

  • Packet [in, out]
    Pointer to the packet descriptor.

  • Buffer [in, out]
