FilterNetPnPEvent (Compact 2013)
3/26/2014
NDIS calls a filter driver's FilterNetPnPEvent function to notify the driver of network Plug and Play (PnP) and Power Management events.
Syntax
NDIS_STATUS
FilterNetPnPEvent(
IN NDIS_HANDLE FilterModuleContext,
IN PNET_PNP_EVENT_NOTIFICATION NetPnPEvent
);
Parameters
- FilterModuleContext
A handle to the context area for the filter module. The filter driver created and initialized this context area in the FilterAttach function.
- NetPnPEvent
A pointer to a NET_PNP_EVENT_NOTIFICATION structure, which describes the PnP event or Power Management event being indicated to the filter driver.
Return Value
FilterNetPnPEvent can return either of the following:
Value |
Description |
---|---|
NDIS_STATUS_SUCCESS |
The driver successfully processed the PnP event. |
NDIS_STATUS_FAILURE |
The driver failed the PnP event. |
The return value is significant only when the propagated event is a NetEventQueryPower or a NetEventQueryRemove event. For all other propagated events, the return value is always NDIS_STATUS_SUCCESS.
Remarks
FilterNetPnPEvent is an optional function. If a filter driver does not handle network PnP events, it can set the entry point for this function to NULL when it calls the NdisFRegisterFilterDriver function.
FilterNetPnPEvent resembles a protocol driver's ProtocolNetPnPEvent function. A filter driver can forward these notifications to overlying drivers or it can handle them itself and not forward them. To forward a notification, call the NdisFNetPnPEvent function. Do not confuse this function with the FilterDevicePnPEventNotify function, which filters notifications that are directed down the stack to underlying drivers.
NDIS calls FilterNetPnPEvent to notify a filter driver of a PnP or Power Management event that was issued for an underlying network driver. NDIS calls the FilterNetPnPEvent function of each filter driver overlying a network driver, and then calls the ProtocolNetPnPEvent function of each overlying protocol driver.
When a filter module is inserted into or deleted from a driver stack, the characteristics of the stack might change. NDIS sends a PnP event to all affected protocol bindings and filter modules to notify them about this change. Filter drivers should handle such changes appropriately.
NDIS calls FilterNetPnPEvent at IRQL = PASSIVE_LEVEL.
