Porting Miniport Adapter Initialization to NDIS 6.0

  • Article

As with NDIS 5.x, NDIS 6.0 miniport drivers can support multiple miniport adapters. A miniport adapter is the logical entity within NDIS that manages a physical or virtual device (also known as a physical or virtual adapter). To initialize a miniport adapter, NDIS 5.x calls the miniport driver's MiniportInitialize function. In NDIS 6.0, the MiniportInitializeEx function replaces MiniportInitialize.
