Update Miniport Adapter Initialization, Halt, and Shutdown Functionality for NDIS 6.0 (Compact 2013)

3/26/2014

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 update the initialization, halt, and shutdown functionality for your miniport adapter to NDIS 6.0, make the following changes:

1. Port adapter initialization operations to NDIS 6.0: implement MiniportInitializeEx to initialize the adapter.
2. Port adapter halt operations to NDIS 6.0: implement MiniportHaltEx to halt the adapter.
3. Port adapter shutdown operations to NDIS 6.0: implement MiniportShutdownEx to restore adapter hardware to a known state.

These miniport driver functions replace the NDIS 5.xMiniportInitialize, MiniportHalt, and MiniportShutdown functions.
