NDIS_MINIPORT_CHARACTERISTICS (Compact 2013)

3/26/2014

NdisIMRegisterLayeredMiniport uses this structure when it registers a driver's miniport entry points and name with the NDIS library. An NDIS intermediate driver should initialize this structure with zeros before setting up any of its members.

The structure at NDIS_MINIPORT_CHARACTERISTICS is defined as follows.

Syntax

typedef struct _NDIS_MINIPORT_CHARACTERISTICS {
  UCHAR MajorNdisVersion;
  UCHAR MinorNdisVersion;
  UINT Reserved;
  W_CHECK_FOR_HANG_HANDLER CheckForHangHandler;
  W_DISABLE_INTERRUPT_HANDLER DisableInterruptHandler;
  W_ENABLE_INTERRUPT_HANDLER EnableInterruptHandler;
  W_HALT_HANDLER HaltHandler;
  W_HANDLE_INTERRUPT_HANDLER HandleInterruptHandler;
  W_INITIALIZE_HANDLER InitializeHandler;
  W_ISR_HANDLER ISRHandler;
  W_QUERY_INFORMATION_HANDLER QueryInformationHandler;
  W_RECONFIGURE_HANDLER ReconfigureHandler;
  W_RESET_HANDLER ResetHandler;
  W_SEND_HANDLER SendHandler;
  W_SET_INFORMATION_HANDLER SetInformationHandler;
  W_TRANSFER_DATA_HANDLER TransferDataHandler;
  W_RETURN_PACKET_HANDLER ReturnPacketHandler;
  W_SEND_PACKETS_HANDLER SendPacketsHandler;
  W_ALLOCATE_COMPLETE_HANDLER AllocateCompleteHandler;
  W_CANCEL_SEND_PACKETS_HANDLER CancelSendPacketsHandler;
  W_MINIPORT_SHUTDOWN_HANDLER AdapterShutdownHandler;
} NDIS_MINIPORT_CHARACTERISTICS, *PNDIS_MINIPORT_CHARACTERISTICS;

Members

  • MajorNdisVersion
    Specifies the major version of the NDIS library the driver is using. The current value is 0x05, although the NDIS library continues to support existing miniports developed for the Network Driver Interface Specification (NDIS) version4.0.
  • MinorNdisVersion
    Specifies the minor version of the NDIS library the driver is using. The current value is 0x00, although NDIS continues to support existing drivers.
  • Reserved
    Reserved.
  • CheckForHangHandler
    Specifies the entry point of the caller's MiniportCheckForHang function, if any, or NULL.
  • DisableInterruptHandler
    Specifies NULL.
  • EnableInterruptHandler
    Specifies NULL.
  • HaltHandler
    Specifies the entry point of the caller's MiniportHalt function.
  • HandleInterruptHandler
    Specifies NULL.
  • InitializeHandler
    Specifies the entry point of the caller's MiniportInitialize function.

  • ISRHandler
    Specifies NULL.

    If the Miniport shares an IRQ with other devices, this member specifies the entry point of the caller's MiniportISR function.

  • ReconfigureHandler
    Specifies NULL.
  • ResetHandler
    Specifies the entry point of the caller's MiniportReset function.

  • SendHandler
    Specifies the entry point of the caller's MiniportSend function, MiniportWanSend function, or NULL if the caller supplies a MiniportSendPackets function.

    If the driver supports multipacket sends or media-specific information, it sets the SendPacketsHandler member instead and sets this member to NULL.

  • TransferDataHandler
    Specifies the entry point of the caller's MiniportTransferData function, if any, or NULL. This miniport function is required unless the caller is the driver of a WAN network adapter or the caller supports multipacket receives and, therefore, supplies the entry point of its MiniportReturnPacket function at ReturnPacketHandler.
  • ReturnPacketHandler
    Specifies the entry point of the caller's MiniportReturnPacket function, if any, or NULL.
  • SendPacketsHandler
    Specifies the entry point of the caller's MiniportSendPackets function, if any, or NULL.
  • AllocateCompleteHandler
    Specifies NULL.
  • CancelSendPacketsHandler
    Specifies the entry point of the caller's MiniportCancelSendPackets function, if any, or NULL. Intermediate drivers that queue send packets for more than one second should register a MiniportCancelSendPackets function.

Remarks

Any NDIS intermediate driver that exports both MiniportXXX and ProtocolXXX functions sets up a characteristics structure and calls NdisIMRegisterLayeredMiniport from its DriverEntry function after DriverEntry calls NdisMInitializeWrapper. This structure is copied in the NdisIMRegisterLayeredMiniport request to the NDIS library's internal storage. Therefore, as soon as it has registered, such a driver cannot change its handler functions.

After such an NDIS intermediate driver has called NdisIMRegisterLayeredMiniport successfully, it must call NdisRegisterProtocol to register its ProtocolXXX functions with the NDIS library. Such a driver usually has both ProtocolBindAdapter and ProtocolUnbindAdapter functions. Its ProtocolBindAdapter function will be called next when the underlying network adapter driver has initialized successfully. ProtocolBindAdapter can then establish a binding to that network adapter driver together with NdisOpenAdapter.

An NDIS intermediate driver should have a MiniportSendPackets function if an underlying network adapter driver might support multipacket sends or consume media-specific information, such as packet priorities, sent down in a packet array from a higher-level protocol. An NDIS intermediate driver should have a MiniportReturnPacket function if an underlying network adapter driver might support multipacket receive indications or indicate packet arrays that contains media-specific information. The NDIS library handles packet arrays transferred between an underlying network adapter driver and higher-level protocol that support only single-packet transfers on behalf of such an intermediate driver.
