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 x has been deprecated and is superseded by NDIS 6.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

NdisImmediateReadPortUshort reads a USHORT from a given bus-relative I/O port.

Syntax

VOID NdisImmediateReadPortUshort(
  _In_  NDIS_HANDLE WrapperConfigurationContext,
  _In_  ULONG       Port,
  _Out_ PUSHORT     Data
);

Parameters

  • WrapperConfigurationContext [in]
    Specifies the handle input to MiniportInitialize.

  • Port [in]
    Specifies the bus-relative I/O port address.

  • Data [out]
    Pointer to a caller-supplied variable in which this function returns the value read from the I/O port.

Return value

None

Remarks

NdisImmediateReadPortUshort determines how the host accesses the given I/O port, maps the bus-relative port address, and then reads a USHORT-type value from the device.

A miniport driver can call NdisImmediateReadPortUshort during initialization to read data from a device I/O port when that driver has not yet called NdisMRegisterIoPortRange to obtain mapped device memory ranges. After its call to NdisMRegisterIoPortRange, the driver uses the faster NdisRawXxx functions to communicate with its NIC.

A miniport driver should not call NdisImmediateReadPortUshort in a Plug and Play environment.

Requirements

Target platform

Universal

Version

Not supported for NDIS 6.0 drivers in Windows Vista. Supported for NDIS 5.1 drivers in Windows Vista and Windows XP. Windows XP supports this function for legacy drivers. However, the Windows XP DDK will not build an NDIS driver that calls this function. Drivers should call NdisReadPortUshortinstead.
